$18 million in new funding has been allocated for the Illinois Works Pre-Apprenticeship Program.

The Illinois Works Pre-Apprenticeship Program, which began in 2021, aims to prepare participants for registered apprenticeship programs. This round of funding will prioritize grants in regions lacking pre-apprenticeship programs and target underserved groups, including people of color, veterans, and women.

Approximately 35 new programs are expected to be funded, benefiting over 1,400 residents statewide.
