Casp Grant
Here is some information on the CASP Grant. It can be extremely helpful in securing sponsorship for many OYAP students in the construction and manufacturing sectors. With this grant employers can get up to $10,000 for sponsoring and hiring a first year apprentice.
It's a fairly painless process for employers to register and receive this grant and it has really helped reduce barriers to getting RTA's and paid positions for some students.
Happy to answer any questions anyone may have around this process and getting employers registered.
