Key awards we’re waiting on.
Apprenticeship pay-to-train funds ($145 million) (DOL): The big one to watch right now. These closed at the start of April, but DOL must award the dollars by June 30. I would expect an announcement closer to that deadline.
DOL AI apprenticeship contract: Dollar amount is fuzzy, I think, but this one likely will be awfully competitive to determine who will be the “AI and apprenticeship” stuff intermediary organization for DOL and apprenticeship. My expectation is this will be funded out of money that must be awarded by June 30.
YouthBuild ($98 million) (DOL): This one closed at the start of March. DOL talked up (questionable) AI components of the funding opportunity. With Trump II shifting gears on AI a bit, it will be interesting to see if that resurfaces.
