In conjunction with National Workforce Development Month, Governor DeWine just announced that ApprenticeOhio sponsors can apply for grants of up to $25,000 each to help cover apprenticeship training costs incurred since July 1, 2020. Ohio employers with registered apprentices in their workforces also can apply for these grants. This program is available through Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS).

These reimbursement grants are available as a result of a federal “Building State Capacity to Expand Apprenticeship through Innovation” grant that ODJFS received in 2020. Sponsors and employers can apply for the grants at www.Apprentice.Ohio.gov today through Dec. 31. Reimbursement of up to $2,500 per apprentice for up to 10 apprentices to help cover the cost of training and tool allowances will be awarded. All applicants must have both a state of Ohio OH|ID and a federal Registered Apprenticeship ID.
