Of that amount, $200,000 is provided to increase support for apprenticeship training reimbursement for registered apprenticeships with the Maine Apprenticeship Program and $200,000 is provided for educational programs that include both industry-based and job-related classroom instruction designed to prepare individuals to succeed in a registered apprenticeship program.
