To announce the 2024 SIDES “Exchanging Knowledge About the Exchanges” Informational Webinar Series that will be hosted by the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) from April 4, 2024, through May 2, 2024.

The purpose of this notice is to alert grantees to the implementation timelines of the recently finalized rule defining the Effectiveness in Serving Employers Primary Indicator of Performance. 
                                      
 

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.
