Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL 17 18
The Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announced this discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Availability of FY18 Funding for State Apprenticeship Expansion" (Opportunity Number: ETA TEGL 17 18), to push statewide growth of Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) using FY18 funds provided through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help states and their partners scale apprenticeship as a mainstream workforce solution, not just a niche training option, and to embed it more deeply into broader workforce, education, and economic development systems.
The opportunity is organized around three core goals. First, it aims to increase the total number of apprentices participating in Registered Apprenticeship Programs across the country, signaling a focus on measurable expansion and enrollment growth. Second, it targets diversification of RAPs in two related ways: increasing the diversity of apprentices themselves (so that apprenticeship participation better reflects the full talent pool) and expanding apprenticeship into a wider range of industry sectors beyond the areas where it has traditionally been most common. Third, it emphasizes system alignment, encouraging states to integrate RAPs into workforce development, education, and economic development strategies so apprenticeship becomes a clear, supported pathway for youth, adults, and other career seekers, while also serving as a business-friendly approach to developing skilled workers.
Administratively, this is a grant instrument under the federal funding activity category of Employment, Labor and Training, associated with CFDA number 17.285. The agency anticipated making 57 awards, with an award ceiling of $4,000,000 per award, indicating that while funding is substantial, it is also intended to be distributed across many awardees to support nationwide expansion. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement materials rather than fully spelled out in the summary data.
Key timing details include a creation date of May 3, 2019, and an application closing date of June 3, 2019. Applications were required to be received no later than 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date, which underscores that timely electronic submission would have been critical. Overall, the program reflects a federal strategy of using targeted, time-limited discretionary funding to help states build capacity, broaden participation, and connect apprenticeship more tightly to the larger ecosystem of public workforce and education investments.Apply for ETA TEGL 17 18
