A pre-apprenticeship program prepares potential apprentices with the skills necessary to meet entry or progression requirements and/or succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship or career. Pre-apprentices must be considered students at the college for the training activity.


There are two types of pre-apprenticeship programs that SUNY can support:


1) Pre-Apprenticeship Community-Based Training:

A pre-apprenticeship community-based training will be considered successful if the trainee either becomes a registered apprentice or receives a job that aligns to the training. Successful completers may be issued a digital badge. The training outline chart must be filled out and attached at the end of this application.


2) Pre-Apprenticeship Training for Incumbent Workers:

Incumbent worker pre-apprenticeship training will be considered successful if the trainee either becomes a registered apprentice or receives a promotion (new title, an increase in salary, or a shift from part-time to full-time). In this case, pre-apprenticeship funds are intended to support the selection of registered apprentices. A sponsor is required when applying for this funding. This application may only include one employer.
