How can QZABs be used to create apprentice-ship programs in schools to develop skills needed by area employers?
Both the contribution requirements and the permitted uses of QZAB proceeds can be used to develop an apprenticeship program at a Qualified Zone Academy. QZAB proceeds can be used to develop curricula and train teachers, and a business can contribute mentorship opportunities and employee time. The employee time could be used to assist the academy in developing curricula related to the background skills (such as math, computers, or drafting) necessary for a particular apprenticeship opportunity. The business can contribute equipment and training materials to be used in the academy to support initial or continuing training.
