Iowa Economic Development 15C Grant
The Registered Apprenticeship Development Fund, or 15C, is a grant to increase the number of registered apprentices in Iowa. In 2018 there was $1 million in funding to which only 50% was taken advantage of. The remaining 50% has rolled forward increasing the 2019 total fund to $1.5 million. Last year 25% of the funds awarded went to contractors utilizing CEU Authority Epprenticeship.
Contractors starting a registered apprenticeship program are eligible for up to $25,000 per occupation with a $50,000 cap. Many contractors are multifaceted with plumbing and mechanical technicians; these companies would be eligible for the maximum of $50,000 by starting a registered apprenticeship in plumbing and HVAC. This is also an excellent opportunity for contractors to expand their company into a new trade and hire an apprentice.
15C grant dollars may be used to cover any cost incurred to start an apprenticeship; to include apprenticeship schooling, required tools of the trade, tablets, laptops or computers. Tools alone could cost as much as 10-12,000 dollars. This is an opportunity that benefits employers as well as employees. Apprenticeship is a proven method of growing business as well as elevating the skills and income of the employee.
