American Manufacturing Apprenticeship Incentive Fund - % American Manufacturing Apprenticeship Incentive Fund FAQs and Supported Occupations What is the American Manufacturing Apprenticeship Incentive Fund? The American Manufacturing Apprenticeship Incentive Fund is managed by the Arkansas Department of Commerce and fully funded ($35. 8M) through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor.
The fund was created to address the urgent need to grow and modernize the U.S. manufacturing workforce and in direct response to the national call ( White House Executive Order 14278 ) to expand access to high-quality registered apprenticeship programs. Incentives will be distributed through a pay-for-performance model tied to defined outcomes, reducing barriers for sponsors and supporting program innovation, scale, and sustainability.
Through this incentive funding model, Arkansas will motivate sponsors on a national scale to develop, expand, and/or join existing advanced manufacturing registered apprenticeship programs and hire apprentices.
Eligible incentive fund applicants include: Individual registered apprenticeship program sponsors (i.e., apprenticeship programs operated by one business/employer for building its own skilled labor force); and Group sponsors or consortia (i.e., apprenticeship programs operated by groups of employers, unions, industry intermediaries, trade associations, etc.). Applicants may also refer to U.S. CFR § 29.

PA-27-034, PA-27-035 and PA-27-036 replace the institute-specific R25 announcements that research education programs have been built around for a decade.
