Gabrielle Lewis at The Frederick (Maryland) News-Post reports the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) and the Asian American Center of Frederick was two of several Maryland organizations to receive funding from the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) for new Apprenticeship opportunities for under-represented communities.  The ATU received $8 million, while the Asian American Center was awarded nearly $4 million to establish more Registered Apprenticeships and Pre-Apprenticeship Programs for Immigrants.  The grant funds come from the USDOL’s Apprenticeship Building America Grant Program, which aims to expand the number of Apprenticeship Programs, diversify industries using Registered Apprenticeships, and increase access to those opportunities for under-represented groups.
