Section 839-012-0610 - Purpose of Trade Outreach to Veterans Grant Program

(1) The purpose of the Trade Outreach to Veterans Grant program is to inform veterans about registered apprenticeship programs that will prepare them for trade careers, to connect veterans with opportunities to pursue such careers by becoming registered apprentices, to prepare veterans to meet minimum qualifications and effectively participate in apprenticeship selection procedures, and to provide support to veterans who are registered as apprentices. "Trade Outreach Veterans Grant Program" means the program created by ORS (whatever statute is created by HB 2202).

(2) Trade Outreach Veterans Grants are awarded on a competitive basis pursuant to a process that is initiated when the Bureau of Labor and Industries issues a solicitation. The solicitation will request grant submissions that provide an approach to accomplishing one or more of the following objectives:

(a) Inform Veterans: Making information about registered apprenticeship programs broadly available to Oregonians who have served as veterans;

(b) Connect Veterans: Investing in Oregon's veterans by connecting them to apprenticeship opportunities to pursue meaningful careers through training as registered apprentices;

(c) Prepare Veterans: The preparation of veterans to meet minimum qualifications and effectively participate in apprentice selection procedures;

(d) Support Veterans: The strengthening of veterans as registered apprentices by providing support through such means as coaching, mentoring, information and referral services, and small financial supports designed to improve retention to journey worker status.
