Industry-Driven IT Apprenticeship Grant Program
The Missouri Chamber is helping to strengthen the IT industry through the Closing the Skills Gap grant.
Through the Industry-Driven IT Apprenticeship Program, the Missouri Chamber Foundation provides support to IT companies that are creating or expanding registered apprenticeship programs. The Missouri Chamber Foundation provides an $800-$1,200 reimbursement per apprentice trained by participating companies, while the companies in the grant serve as mentors to each other and share best practices to improve their training and recruiting systems.
Over the four years of the grant, the Missouri Chamber Foundation will help train more than 5,000 IT apprentices. This program is made possible by a $6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.

PROGRAM TESTIMONIAL
Dustin Domerese
Dynamic Consultants Group CEO
“The Missouri Chamber has been amazing at providing us resources, as well as providing support to those apprentices that are coming into the program.
It’s a great program for keeping that talent in Missouri, using Missouri as a hub for those that may not have been able to get a four- or six-year education, training them on a brand new career, getting them involved in technology, and doubling, if not tripling, their earning potential.“
