Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00282
The Traditional Trades Apprenticeship Program (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00282) is a National Park Service initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior that focuses on building practical workforce skills tied directly to the maintenance and preservation needs of parks and other public resources. The central purpose is to support and stimulate hands-on work in traditional and preservation-oriented trades while also giving participants transferable job skills and reinforcing a stewardship mindset, meaning an ethic of caring for and responsibly managing cultural and natural resources. In plain terms, the program is designed to develop trade talent through real work experiences that help maintain historic structures, facilities, and landscapes, while preparing participants for broader employment in related fields beyond the park setting.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a standard grant. The funding activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, aligning it with workforce development goals. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number attached to the program is 15.931, identifying it within the federal assistance cataloging system used for tracking and reporting.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. That restriction indicates the agency intended to work with mission-driven nonprofit partners that can administer apprenticeship-style training, recruit and support participants, and coordinate field-based learning aligned with preservation and maintenance objectives.
In terms of funding scale, the posted award ceiling is $187,542, and the expected number of awards is one. That combination suggests a single partner organization was anticipated for this specific project action, rather than a broad, open competition intended to fund multiple recipients.
Importantly, this listing is labeled as a Notice of Intent only and is not accepting applications. The announcement explains that the task agreement is being made under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC00034) that had already been awarded through a competitive process. Practically, that means the agency was publicly documenting its intent to issue a specific task under a previously competed umbrella agreement, rather than opening a new application cycle. The original posting date is June 18, 2019, and the absence of an application window reflects that this was an administrative and transparency step rather than a solicitation for new proposals.Apply for P19AS00282
