About this RFP:
Apprenti was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce (Good Jobs Challenge) in September, 2022 to scale tech apprenticeships across the country.
Over the grant term, Apprenti will address the talent shortage and diversity needs in tech by placing 2,000 apprentices in high-demand Cybersecurity and Cloud-related roles across the nation.
Our program is employer-driven, meaning that we schedule training on an ad-hoc basis when demand arises. Our preference is for instruction to be delivered prior to on-the-job training (OJT). Total student effort should hover around 40-50 hours per week spanning 2-5 months, depending on the occupational role, meaning that a 10-week program should cover adequate material and assignments to occupy roughly 400 hours of student time.
In this RFP, we ask for information about your current capabilities as well as your experience providing instruction in the occupations listed above. Our goal is to identify existing resources and work alongside the training provider to build capacity, either through supplemental education or refining the existing offerings.
Submissions are due by 5:00pm PDT on Thursday, June 20, 2024. This form will close at the submission deadline.
We are looking for:
- Proposals that meet our standards, at a minimum, in both topics and RTI hours
- Full time programs
- Mostly synchronous training
- Fees should preferably be < $15,000 per student and include any applicable certification exam fees (+ one retake)
- Please review the Apprenti occupational outlines (linked here) with close attention to the role(s) you submit a training proposal for.
