RI Manufacturers: Get Support to Build Your Workforce Through Apprenticeships
Rhode Island manufacturers have a new opportunity to develop skilled employees and strengthen their workforce through the Polaris MEP Apprenticeship Challenge.
The challenge invites Rhode Island manufacturers to establish a registered apprenticeship program and enroll at least two employees.
Companies that have existing on the job training may already be appropriate and ready for the program.
The first five eligible participating companies may qualify for:
- Up to $5,000 in employer incentives for each qualifying apprentice who completes six months of training.
- Up to $10,000 in reimbursement toward related technical instruction.
- Up to $1,200 in apprenticeship mentor stipends.
You won't have to navigate the process alone. Polaris MEP, in partnership with Building Futures’ Apprenticeship RI initiative, will provide expert guidance from the initial application and program development through implementation and ongoing support.
