This Change 1 corrects the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 state formula allocations in Attachment I for the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) program.

To transmit the subject computation for State Workforce Agency usage in computing minimum weekly DUA amounts for all major disasters declared from April 1 – June 30, 2024 (third quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024).

To transmit instructions for implementing revisions to the ETA 9128 Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment Workload report.

The purpose of this Training and Employment Notice (TEN) is to: (i) describe the scope and characteristics of quality pre-apprenticeship programs in a manner that is consistent with the language of the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) in Apprenticeship Final Rule and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Final Rule; (ii) identify how pre-apprenticeship programs can increase access to Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) for all Americans, including those historically underrepresented and underserved in RAPs; and (iii) provide examples of quality pre-apprenticeship programs in diverse settings.  

This TEN rescinds and replaces the Employment and Training Administration’s (ETA) previous guidance on pre-apprenticeship programs, TEN No. 13-12, Defining a Quality Pre-Apprenticeship Program and Related Tools and Resources.  While ETA’s Office of Apprenticeship (OA) does not directly oversee or regulate pre-apprenticeship programs, OA recommends the elements outlined in this TEN, as they facilitate subsequent success in a RAP.  Additionally, while pre-apprenticeship programs are not subject to the EEO requirements of 29 CFR Part 30, which identifies specific actions for creating discrimination- and harassment-free apprenticeship processes and environments, incorporating the elements of that regulation into pre-apprenticeships may benefit RAP sponsors in meeting the applicable EEO requirements.

To announce RESEA outcome payments for FY 2023, as required by Section 306(f)(2) of the Social Security Act (SSA).
