Description
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) supports the design and development of new health-sector multi-employer registered apprenticeship programs (RAPs). The goal is sustainable shared infrastructure that helps healthcare employers participate efficiently in apprenticeship and address workforce development needs cost-effectively. Grantees work with DLI’s Apprenticeship Division to develop, register, and sustain programs rather than build training for a single employer.
Supported work includes program development, curriculum and related instruction, education partnerships, employer recruitment and technical assistance, staffing, data systems, outreach, and sustainability planning. Expected programs serve statewide or regional areas, offer apprenticeship opportunities in multiple occupations, and engage small, medium, and large healthcare employers. The opportunity is fully funded through DLI’s State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.
