This Project Grant award, valued at $8,500,000.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Registered Apprenticeship CFDA program (17.285). The funding supports the East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT), a career and technical education institution in Arizona, in expanding, diversifying, and modernizing registered apprenticeship opportunities across key industries such as healthcare, IT, education, clean energy, manufacturing, and construction.
The grant will enable EVIT to develop new apprenticeship programs, create pre-apprenticeship initiatives, and increase access to workforce training over the award period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028. EVIT has also received prior federal funding, including over $1.9 million in formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education to support COVID-19 response efforts, as well as Perkins grant subawards from the Arizona Department of Education to enhance its career and technical education programs.
