The Growing Apprenticeships in Nontraditional Sectors (GAINS) Round 1 is a competitive grant program administered by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development for Fiscal Year 2027. With a total funding pool of 6 million dollars, the initiative aims to establish new or expand existing USDOL-approved Registered Apprenticeship programs within high-growth sectors, including Advanced Manufacturing, Bio Pharma/Life Sciences, IT/Cyber Security, Healthcare, and Green Jobs. The program provides financial incentives such as up to 50 percent wage reimbursement for the first 12 months of a new apprentice's employment, as well as coverage for training costs, instructor fees, and materials. All participants must be New Jersey residents, and participating employers must have a presence in the state. The grant operates on an 18-month contract period with a cost reimbursement payment structure managed through the IGX system. Key financial constraints include a maximum allowable cost of 12,000 dollars per apprentice, a 10 percent cap on total administrative costs, and a minimum starting wage of 18 dollars per hour for apprentices. Applications are evaluated by an independent review committee on a 100-point scale, with preference given to programs training new hires, small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, and those serving under-represented populations such as veterans, youth, and minority groups. Interested applicants must submit a Letter of Intent by November 27, 2026, and a final application via the IGX system by December 4, 2026. A Tax Clearance Certificate is a mandatory precondition for receiving any award.

Solicitation # 2026-REQ-073

The Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) is soliciting proposals under RFP 2026-REQ-073 for the development and implementation of a comprehensive zero-emission workforce development, maintenance training, and apprenticeship framework. The program aims to transition employees from foundational safety knowledge to advanced electrical theory, diagnostics, and troubleshooting for battery electric buses.

The project is intended to build upon existing vendor and safety training investments rather than duplicating them. Proposals are due by November 19, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal. TARTA will evaluate submissions based on technical approach, relevant zero-emission bus workforce experience, apprenticeship and competency development expertise, key personnel qualifications, cost, and past performance. The submission must be split into separate files for the technical proposal and pricing information, including a signed Declaration of Non-Collusion and Lobbying Certification. While a fixed contract value is not specified, the project aligns with a grant spend-down window extending through the end of 2027 or beginning of 2028. Performance will take place across TARTA facilities in Toledo, Ohio, and acceptance is contingent upon the successful pilot delivery of curriculum modules and the incorporation of TARTA feedback.
