[ONLINE] - PAYA Policy Academy
Event
As a national partner of the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship (PAYA), the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) is launching a policy academy to help states and territories develop and implement policy agendas that advance high-quality youth apprenticeship opportunities.
States and territories are invited to assemble a state team and apply to receive up to a $50,000 grant award and technical assistance to advance high-quality youth apprenticeship over a 12-month period. State teams will receive technical assistance to execute their proposed scope of work; participate in programming that will provide teams with a clearer understanding of the national policy landscape and state policy options for advancing youth apprenticeship; and engage in multiple in-person and virtual peer learning opportunities.
On May 22, 2023, the NGA Center and PAYA hosted an informational webinar, which provided an overview of project activities, expected outcomes for participating states, application requirements, and how the PAYA Framework for High-Quality Youth Apprenticeship will inform the project. Prospective applicants are encouraged to review the powerpoint and email us at paya@newamerica.org to access the recording of the informational webinar.
Applications are due Friday, June 9, 2023 by 11:59 pm Eastern Time.
