Dislocated Worker Grant
The Kansas Department of Commerce has been awarded a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. The grant, Demonstration Projects Targeting Dislocated Workers, details a plan, Registered Apprenticeship WORKS! (RA WORKS!), and funds the Related Technical Instruction portion of an approved Registered Apprenticeship program.
The grant’s focus is to return dislocated workers to the workforce by assisting in the workers' acquisition of new skill sets through Registered Apprenticeship in one of two high-growth areas: advanced manufacturing and energy.
To be eligible for grant funded related technical instruction an apprentice must
-
Be registered at a local workforce center
-
Be identified as a dislocated worker at the local workforce center
-
Be employed by a recognized sponsor/employer in either the advanced manufacturing or energy field
-
Enter into the sponsor/employer’s Registered Apprenticeship Program
Employees seeking a Registered Apprenticeship can contact their local workforce center.
