| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | After successful development, approval, and implementation of the Registered Apprenticeship model, JobForwards focus in 2024 was on assisting a subset of the original awardees efforts to expand program reach, developing partnerships, and providing ongoing training. JobForward continues to partner with one of the largest healthcare provider organizations in the country to create a comprehensive workforce development solution, with Registered Apprenticeship at its core. The work done in 2024 was to support their efforts to expand programming to new locations around the country, where the apprenticeship model can be utilized to benefit underserved populations and to solve significant recruitment, training, and workforce development needs. JobForward continues to support the development of new training programs for the organization and to develop organizational talent and capacity to deliver training within the organization. JobForward partnered again in 2024 with REDF, an organization passionate about breaking down barriers to employment. Using employment social enterprises or businesses willing to hire those who are often overlooked during hiring practices, JobForward is working to develop pathways to training and employment for individuals who face significant challenges. Through the network of social enterprises, the work focused on developing employment and pre-apprenticeship opportunities to provide those in transition with a pathway into Registered Apprenticeship. The focus of 2024 was the development of pathways within the behavioral health sector from receiving direct support through to certification and employment. In 2024, JobForward continued work on the Maryland State Department of Education MSDE grant and effort to provide youth apprenticeships to secondary school students as part of an initiative to pilot and overhaul the states approach to youth training and employment opportunities. JobForward continued to work directly with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants AICPA, Society for Human Resource Management SHRM, and the College of Southern Maryland CSM to develop and provide pathways to youth apprenticeships and employment in partnership with their employer partners. JobForward is providing technical assistance and support to employers and school districts in leveraging youth apprenticeship as a workforce development solution. While the Maryland youth apprenticeship model does not require the use of the Registered Apprenticeship model, JobForward has focused on the use of the model for in-school youth to provide a clear path from school to permanent employment. JobForward also provided extensive technical assistance to local education agencies, to MSDE, to employers interested in youth apprenticeships, and to other partners on the statewide initiative. JobForward has provided extensive support and technical assistance to the Early Care Education Pathways to Success program development and during the recent USDOL HUB designation and expansion across the US. The programs developed directly support the education, at no cost, of underserved individuals to become teachers and leaders in the ECE sector. JobForward has supported the development of the apprenticeship model in support of stackable education, training, and occupational development that creates a comprehensive career solution. Expansion of the technical assistance provided by JobForward has included apprenticeship sponsors around the country as the model becomes central to solving the ECE crisis in the country. JobForward has provided extensive support and technical assistance to the SBWIB as a named partner in their USDOL ABA Hub grant in California. It has been working with workforce boards, employers, and education providers across the state to expand registered apprenticeships with both the USDOL and CA DAS. |
