Registered Apprenticeship Opportunities and Tax Credit
Opportunities exist for employers to sponsor existing workers and new hires as Registered Apprentices (RAs) in traditional and expansion industries. The MA Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) oversees this opportunity and MHFHWB helps manage the process for employers.
There is also a possible Massachusetts Registered Apprentice Tax Credit (RATC) available to Employers. Employers may be eligible for up to a $4,800 credit per qualified apprentice.
