The Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC) is pleased to announce it is awarding $500,000 to 12 organizations with a Small Business Apprenticeship Support (SBAS) grant to support small businesses in their efforts to launch new Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) or expand existing RAPs. Grantees can use the funding to hire internal administrative support, provide training for managers and/or mentors, or develop curriculum.
Technical assistance will be provided through Apprenticeship Colorado, the State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) that is responsible for oversight and registration of apprenticeships.
Apprenticeship Colorado’s Program Development Team provides employers and new and existing sponsors with assistance in designing a high-quality Registered Apprenticeship Program from the exploration phase through program development to the final step of registration with the SAA.
The grant, funded by Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF),will help these small businesses of 1-25 employees develop and train skilled workers tailored to their specific needs, improve job quality, and invest in apprenticeship programs while significantly reducing the financial burden associated with hiring and training new employees.
Well-trained apprentices can quickly become productive members of the team, contributing to innovation and competitiveness, as well as creating a continuous pipeline of skilled workers who are already familiar with the business’s culture and processes. Apprentices benefit from a quality job that incorporates structured wage progression, career pathway development, and mentoring, which in turn, lowers the turnover rate for employers.
By expanding and growing apprenticeship programs, small businesses can simplify future hiring needs and ensure a steady supply of qualified employees. The cohort of grantees include: Culinarians Helping Entrepreneurial Folks (C. H.
