Clark University received a welcome influx of funds from the U.S. Department of Labor last week: $27 million to grow apprenticeships. The Massachusetts university plans to invest the money in its new TechImpact project, an effort to expand apprenticeships in the information technology industry.
Clark was among five recipients awarded a total of about $162 million in government funds over four years to support registered apprenticeships.
The move reflects the Trump administration’s commitment to bolstering the workforce by promoting learn-and-earn initiatives, after President Donald Trump issued an executive order last year setting a goal to reach at least one million new active apprentices.
