The Public Sector Apprenticeship Innovation Fund is an initiative to support the growth of Registered Apprenticeships within government entities across Maryland. Using the “earn and learn” model, the purposes of the Fund are to bolster the State’s public sector workforce, develop and retain talent, and connect Marylanders to good paying careers.

Supported with $3,000,000 from a U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula grant award, MD Labor will begin accepting applications from state, county, municipal or local governments on Thursday, November 16, 2023.
