The Labor & Industries Washington Department Financial Management Division received a $1,355,532 Project Grant from the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) under the Registered Apprenticeship program (CFDA 17.285), effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028. This award supports the expansion and diversification of registered apprenticeship programs across Washington State, with primary focus on developing new apprenticeship pathways in healthcare, information technology, education, clean energy, manufacturing, and construction trades.

The grant funds initiatives designed to increase access to skilled career opportunities for underrepresented populations through comprehensive workforce development strategies. The awardee will leverage partnerships with state agencies including the Washington Education Association, Department of Social and Health Services, Department of Veteran Affairs, and Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to implement apprenticeship expansion activities. Deliverables under this three-year grant include the development of new licensed practical nurse apprenticeships, certified teacher registered apprenticeship programs, and public sector information technology apprenticeships, consistent with the federal program's emphasis on modernizing apprenticeship systems to address critical workforce development needs.
