Idaho’s $4.25 million grant to create 750 apprentices is one of 15 states to win funding.

Idaho is one of 15 states to receive a U.S Department of Labor grant to expand its Apprenticeship Idaho program.

The $4.25 million grant will be administered by the Idaho Department of Labor.

“Idaho employers have one thing in common – they tell me they need a pipeline of skilled workers with industry-specific training and hands-on experience,” Governor Brad Little said. “By participating in a Registered Apprenticeship program, these same employers can create a customized talent pipeline with extensive education and training in one of more than 1,200 occupations.”
