Funding is provided by the Massachusetts Workforce Investment Trust Fund and Federal State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula funds, with a maximum eligible funding of 650,000 dollars per project. Grant durations may range from single-year awards ending June 30, 2027, to multi-year awards extending through June 30, 2029.

Awardees are required to maintain a DOR Certificate of Good Standing and a Certificate of Unemployment Insurance Compliance. Performance is monitored by the Division of Apprentice Standards, with invoicing primarily based on the number of registered apprentices enrolled and verified.
