The union-based apprenticeship programs are available on the WIOA Title IB Eligible Training Provider list and the AFL-CIO’s president is represented on the Workforce Development Council. The Workforce Development Council prioritizes a local-area set-aside for Registered Apprenticeship Outreach and the AFL-CIO currently delivers these services. In addition, the state has four U.S. Department of Labor-funded apprenticeship grants under the umbrella of <em>ApprenticeshipIdaho</em>, involving employers, unions and many other stakeholders, including traditional and nontraditional training providers, including online training opportunities. Most recently, IDOL was awarded another SAE grant which included funding for the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and Department of Corrections to hire individuals focused on expanding apprenticeship. </p>

<p>The Idaho Commission for Libraries has been an active facilitator for promoting and expanding the One-Stop system across the state. Particularly in rural areas, libraries are the main resource for citizen seeking public information. Under the Idaho Department of Labor’s new service delivery model, 14 libraries in smaller cities and towns across the state serve as remote locations for the various services offered by the agency. In addition to providing access to information on workforce development programs, the libraries have free training resources available to the general public. The LiLI system (Libraries Linking Idaho) provides access to the LearningExpress Library, which even includes occupational test preparation.</p>
