Financial Assistance for Registered Apprentices

BOLI.Cares collaborates with other state agencies and community partners to provide financial assistance to help you be successful as an apprentice registered with the State of Oregon. For more information and details visit our Financial Assistance for Registered Apprentices page.

Pre-Apprenticeship Services and Support

If you graduated from a pre-apprenticeship program, you should contact the specific program to determine whether there are specific services and support that they offer to their graduates. Many offer peer support and career coaching, and some may also have access to emergency funds to help you continue in your apprenticeship.

Additional Resources

For apprentices needing extra support, these resources address health, safety, mental well-being, and access to essential services. Community organizations and workforce agencies offer guidance on benefits, safety training, and crisis support, helping apprentices navigate both personal and professional challenges.
