The RADAR project advances the U.S. Department of Labor’s efforts to expand and modernize Registered Apprenticeship by increasing the number of programs and apprentices, diversifying the industries that use Registered Apprenticeship and improving the access to and performance of Registered Apprenticeship Programs for underrepresented and underserved communities, with individuals with disabilities as the primary participants. This program is 100% funded by a United States Department of Labor - Employment and Training Administration’s (ETA) award of $2,999,993. RADAR staff will be available at the job fair to speak with anyone interested in participating in the grant. To learn more about this grant GO HERE
