The Secretary shall provide payments of assistance for eligible sponsors of new (as of the date of submission of an application under subsection (b)) registered apprenticeship programs, or for eligible sponsors of existing registered apprenticeship programs that add employers as new (as of such date) partners, which may include joint labor-management registered apprenticeship programs. To be eligible to receive payments under this section for a registered apprenticeship program, a sponsor shall submit an application to the Secretary including information demonstrating that (as of the date of submission)— the program received recognition as a registered apprenticeship program within the 36 months preceding that date; or the program (which may include a joint labor-management registered apprenticeship program) added employers as new partners within the 36 months preceding that date; the sponsor offered jobs that lead to economic self-sufficiency, as determined by a local workforce development board located in the same local workforce development area (meaning a local area, as defined in section 3 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act ( 29 U.S.C. 3102 )); the sponsor has demonstrated success in enrolling, instructing, advancing, and graduating individuals in the relevant registered apprenticeship program, and in the employment of such individuals after completion of the program; and the sponsor had not received a payment under subsection
(d)for that registered apprenticeship program. In providing assistance under this section, the Secretary shall arrange to provide payments as described in subsection
(a)for eligible sponsors, as funds are available under this section. Funds made available through such a payment shall be used to reimburse an eligible sponsor for the allowable costs of establishing or expanding the registered apprenticeship program involved. The maximum total payment to any one sponsor may not exceed $25,000 or 50 percent of the allowable costs, whichever amount is less. The Secretary shall enter into arrangements with State workforce development boards to make disbursements through the local workforce development boards described in subsection (b)(2) to provide the payments to the eligible sponsors. Sponsors receiving payments under this section shall, to the extent practicable, cooperate with the Secretary in the conduct of evaluations of the activities carried out under this section. There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2021 and each subsequent fiscal year. The Secretary may reserve 5 percent of the amount appropriated under paragraph
(1)for a fiscal year for distribution to the State workforce development boards and local workforce development boards, to pay for the costs of the boards associated with making determinations under subsection (b)(2) and disbursements under subsection (d), and as funds remain available, other costs of administration and management, technical assistance, research, and evaluation under this subtitle.
