The ABA Grant provides new opportunities in each of the four years of the grant for employers or industry organizations/partnerships. Proposals can be submitted through a formal RFP process for contract awards up to $100,000 (annually) to expand the infrastructure of Registered Apprenticeship across the New Hampshire.
