The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA), has extended until March 31, 2009, the deadline for applying for grants to align the registered apprenticeship, according to an announcement in the Federal Register.
The original deadline was March 16.
A Webinar for prospective applicants will be held for this grant application on March 4, 2009.
Access information for the Webinar will be posted on ETA’s Web site.
The ETA is offering the approximately $6.5 million in grants to promote the 21st century registered apprenticeship framework as outlined in the Final Rule published on October 29, 2008, which revised 20 CFR Part 29, Labor Standards for the Registration of Apprenticeship Programs. Allowable activities may include developing new or modifying existing standards for apprenticeship programs to include competency- or hybrid-based programs; developing curricula to support these standards; using technology-based learning strategies; developing skill assessment tools for competency-based models; and conducting outreach and training efforts to educate staff and partners on the new model(s).
