The Sangamon-Menard Regional Office of Education #51 is proud to partner with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development to offer the Illinois Works Pre-Apprenticeship Program (ILWPP). As a community-based organization, ROE #51 offers a pre-apprenticeship program rooted in nationally recognized pre-apprenticeship training models. The program includes outreach, classroom and work site training, wrap-around services, student support services, transition services, and follow-up. The focus of this grant system is to fund programs that are specifically designed to increase the probability of success for historically underrepresented populations to transition into RAPs in the construction and building trades.
