Source summary
The U.S. Department of Labor announced $98 million in YouthBuild funding to develop pre-apprenticeship programs in high-demand sectors — including construction, advanced manufacturing, IT and healthcare — targeting 16- to 24-year-olds. Administered by the Employment and Training Administration and supported by WIOA, the program will award about 57 grants of $1–$2 million, requires incorporation of AI literacy in education components, and sets a new target for the share of participants who enter Registered Apprenticeships within one year of exiting YouthBuild.
