An organization that can help broker local, regional, and national workforce solutions by, among other things, helping job seekers find jobs and employers find workers; convening employers and community partners to determine workforce trends; and assisting in blending customized services and seed funding to grow the demand for new apprenticeship programs.

The Intermediary will serve as the Sponsor of the apprenticeship program, if they provide appropriate evidence of partnering with employers.
