What is the SUNY Apprenticeship Program?
This SUNY-developed grant, in partnership with the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL), helps New York employers build paid, registered apprenticeships in high-skill, high-demand careers across advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and information technology. TC3 serves as a local partner, assisting employers with program development, training alignment, and ongoing support.

How does your company benefit?
Eligible employers can receive partial or full coverage of the related instruction costs for registered apprenticeships approved by the NYSDOL.
If you don’t yet have a registered apprenticeship, we will guide you through the NYSDOL registration process.
