Leavenworth Small Business Grant Program

The Hampton Roads Regional Apprenticeship Hub Employer Incentive provides employers and Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) sponsors in Southeastern Virginia's Hampton Roads region with reimbursement grants of up to $30,000 to help develop and expand Registered Apprenticeship Programs. Administered by the Hampton Roads Workforce Council and funded through a $6 million Apprenticeship Building America Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, the incentive is designed to help offset the initial financial risks and resource investments involved in launching or expanding a highly skilled, specialized workforce through a "grow-your-own" and "earn-while-you-learn" apprenticeship strategy. Eligible expenses include the registration of an apprenticeship program, train-the-trainer costs, curriculum development costs, classroom education or online training, and training supplies for apprentices, with specific funding caps per activity detailed in the incentive application. Ineligible uses include training that began before the incentive agreement was executed, using funds to offset current training costs without expanding training capacity through a registered apprenticeship program, wrap-around support (such as transportation, housing, or childcare), general education not tied to specific on-the-job skills, general onboarding or orientation without a defined skill progression, mandatory compliance training without additional skill advancement, continuing education unrelated to job performance, training primarily for networking or professional association participation, construction or purchase of facilities, business relocation expenses, lobbying, and research and development. The incentive is open to employers and sponsors of any size or cohort size operating in the Hampton Roads region of Southeastern Virginia, including the cities of Chesapeake, Franklin, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and Williamsburg, and the counties of Isle of Wight, James City, Southampton, York, and Eastern Shore. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until all funds are exhausted, with the Hampton Roads Workforce Council reviewing applications and notifying applicants of a decision within two weeks. Approved employers receive an incentive agreement and supporting documentation for invoicing, and payment may take up to 45 days after the Council receives the appropriate documentation to process the reimbursement request.

The Foundations in Industry Training (FIT) Grant Program is a statewide program which offers assistance to registered apprenticeship programs. The program’s goal is to increase apprenticeship availability to Pennsylvania employers to assist them with their talent recruitment and development.
