Understanding the Financials of Apprenticeship

Understanding the Financials of Apprenticeship

The Grow Apprenticeship California team from the Foundation for California Community Colleges hosted a learning lab during National Apprenticeship Week that was focused on understanding the financials of apprenticeship. This was an in-person event. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from knowledgeable speakers regarding current and future funding opportunities, understanding the costs of an apprenticeship program, understanding RSI, and how SNAP E&T funds can benefit apprentices.

This learning lab was FREE and open to all community colleges, intermediaries, apprenticeship practitioners, stakeholders, employer partners, non-profit organizations, and workforce boards throughout California. This was a great opportunity for individuals wanting to learn more about financially operating and resources available when it comes to developing and sustaining an apprenticeship program.
