Anyway we can mute all?

What if the industry being considered has wages that are not much more than min in California?

What if an employer wants to create an apprenitceship program for their current employees to "upskill" them. Does this count as a "new" program?

What are the limits to consulting?

Does the salary/benefits of apprentices count as "employer match"

does NOVA have word count limits for each section - if so, can we know those limits.

3,500 characters for abstract

Are private educational centers eligibile to apply?

What about expanding existing DAS approved apprenticeship offerings in remote areas where they do not currently exist or are not accessible for local communities?

If a college is poviding instruction, can it choose to use apportionment rather than RSI? ANd can an application utilize both apportionment and RSI?

Can the first 6-9 months of the 3-year grant period be used to refine the answers to these 21 questions? In other words, can the proposed Apprenticeship Committee work collaboratively to determine the details of the program prior to submitting the Apprenticeship application to the DAS? Or do all details of the proposed apprenticeship need to be determined within the context of the grant proposal?

Seeing Workforce Development Boards as a partner in the Ecosystem, not necessarily an intermediary, what have you seen as the best role for a local WDB in a local Apprenticeship Network?

i agree with randi - for new, non-traditional apprenticeships, the design may change as you go, and all stakeholders should have the opportunity to contribute to the design.

Can you make available all the NOVA questions and character limitations?

what if a signed MOU cannot be obtained in time for submission - it may need to go to legal, or multiple boards, right when many people are returning to work.

Is there an MOU template to share with employers?

Nick - Will you please send out all Q&A that are submitted by 8/23? Or, develop a list to be posted on the website?

Yes - I agree with Vicki Shipman - we need answers to all of these questions that are being written...

Please post the Power Point on the website

Will you post answers to all the chat feed questions?

When will the powerpoint to this presentation be available? Great information today - thank you.
