Purpose of Grant: To expand Registered Apprenticeship (RA) in New York, with a focus on engaging small, medium, and large employers to secure paid Registered Apprenticeships in high-skilled, high demand, competitive wage occupations with a focus on underrepresented groups. All activities are coordinated by The State University of New York (SUNY), in partnership with the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL), the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) and Empire State Development Office of Workforce Development (OSWD). The New York College Apprenticeship Network (NYCAN) supports apprenticeships in advanced manufacturing.
Project Period: SUNY Apprenticeship Program (SAP) projects must be concluded prior to December 31, 2027. NYCAN concludes July 14, 2024.
Application Due Date: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, subject to funding availability. Applications must be submitted a minimum of three weeks prior to any scheduled activities.
Project Description: Beginning April 1, 2024 Apprenticeship Programs at SUNY will focus ALL activities on occupations rather than the industry sector of the employer. All processes including applications for pre-industry roundtables, apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship, etc. should be made based on this occupation-based approach.
