The Indiana Department of Workforce Development Finance Division received a $1,281,731 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Registered Apprenticeship program (CFDA 17.285) effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. This award supports Indiana's efforts to expand, diversify, and modernize registered apprenticeship opportunities across the state, with particular emphasis on developing new apprenticeship programs and pre-apprenticeship initiatives in critical industries including healthcare, information technology, clean energy, manufacturing, and construction trades.

The grant funding enables Indiana to implement strategies designed to connect individuals—particularly those from underrepresented populations—with skilled career pathways and address workforce development needs through comprehensive training and employment initiatives. As a state-level recipient under the Registered Apprenticeship program, Indiana will develop and expand registered apprenticeship programming while working to increase access to workforce training and create pathways that prepare workers for in-demand occupations. The three-year performance period aligns with standard federal apprenticeship expansion grant timelines and reflects the Department of Labor's commitment to supporting state-led workforce development innovation.
