 Administered jointly by the department’s Women’s Bureau and Employment and Training Administration, the Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations grant program supports community-based organizations in their efforts to recruit, train, and retain more American women in Registered Apprenticeships and in high demand-occupations. The WANTO grant program represents an important step toward meeting the administration’s goal of enrolling 1 million new active apprentices.
The WANTO grants will help address the shortage of American workers in construction as well as emerging industries such as manufacturing, infrastructure, and cybersecurity by capitalizing on women workers, who currently only comprise about 15 percent of active Registered Apprenticeship participants.
Apply for the 2025 WANTO grant at grants.gov by August 8, 2025.
