About this file
This is a Pre-Bid Meeting Q&A document for a Pre-Apprenticeship program opportunity from the Delaware Department of Labor. The program seeks pre-apprenticeship programs that align with Registered Apprenticeships (RA), with grant funding available through December 31, 2026. The program is not exclusively for women in construction, though it includes construction opportunities. Out-of-state apprentice programs can align with Delaware pre-apprentice programs through a reciprocity policy during the application process.
The maximum grant award amount is $750,000 per recipient, with the total number of awards dependent on submissions received. While advance payments are not standard, they can be discussed during negotiations with successful applicants. The program does not penalize applications for having a lower percentage of women participants. Unsuccessful applicants will receive notification of non-selection but will not receive detailed debriefing explanations. Interested parties can contact apprenticeship@de.gov for information about RA providers or other apprenticeship opportunities, though no direct Registered Apprenticeship opportunities are currently available.
