The purpose of the Apprenticeship Training Grant funding is to develop an industry-specific Wyoming workforce for business, businesses, industries, and to assist Wyoming Registered Apprenticeship Programs with the costs and expenses of implementing the program and training the apprentices.

Eligible applicants include Wyoming-based Sponsors with the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Registered Apprenticeship Programs, and Related Technical Instruction Provider(s) associated with a Wyoming-based Sponsor. Applications are completed through a partnership of these entities with collaboration occurring prior to submission.

Approved funding is provided for allowable expenses directly associated with the Related Technical Instruction component of the program.

  • Plan to submit an application 45 to 60 days before RTI begins.

Before You Apply

All businesses must complete a one time registration application in order to gain access into the Grant Management System. Registration approval can take up to 1-2 weeks to process. If any good standing verifications come back needing clarification, an email will be sent to the contact information provided on the registration. All requested clarifications or good standings must be updated or corrected within 60 calendar days in order for the registration application to remain active. If requested items are not completed within that timeline, the registration will be rejected and a new registration application will need to be submitted. Please ensure your business meets the following requirements to avoid delays in the registration process. 

  • Good Standing: Your business must be registered and in good standing with:
    • Wyoming Unemployment Insurance (UI)
    • Workers’ Compensation (WC)
    • Wyoming Secretary of State (SoS)
    • Workforce Development Training Fund (WDTF)
    • HireWyo: Your business must also be registered and in good standing with HireWYO. This process may take an additional 1-2 weeks, especially if your WC or UI accounts need to be updated.
