EXHIBIT A
Background:
The Port of Seattle Economic Development Partnership Program is an annual, cooperative economic
development program to help fund local economic development initiatives across King County. Based on a per
capita calculation, King County cities (except Seattle) may each receive between $5,000 and $60,000 based
on the city's population. The maximum grant allocation for each city, with populations between 5,000 and
60,000 people, is based on one dollar per resident. Population estimates are determined by the Washington
State Office of Financial Management. The Port uses the most recent population estimates at the start of the
grant cycle. Cities with populations numbering less than 10,000 people are eligible to receive grant funds up to
$10,000 and cities with populations numbering more than 60,000 people are eligible to receive grant funding
up to $60,000. Grant funds require a 50 percent match of dollars or in-kind resources. In-kind resources can
only be used for up to 25 percent of the grant award amount. For smaller cities receiving Port grants of
$10,000, cities may use in-kind resources to supplement up to the 50 percent of the match requirement.
Project Description:
Category: Workforce Development
This partnership between the Aerospace Machinists Joint Training Committee dba AJAC Advanced Manufacturing
Apprenticeships referred to AJAC hereafter, City of Kent, and the Kent School District(SD)will build capacity for the
development of an Automation Technician Youth Apprenticeship to be based in the Kent SD. The project will begin
with informing and educating school faculty about AJAC's youth apprenticeship through events, employer tours, and
industry roundtables. The intention of these outreach events is to demonstrate how AJAC offerings align with existing
CTE programs; to give SD employers a deeper understanding of the advanced manufacturing industry and related
opportunities; and to elicit project buy-in from both the SD and businesses based in Kent. Simultaneously, AJAC staff
will work with the SD to identify a potential training location and instructor for a pilot youth apprenticeship program in
the Kent SD.
Smart Goal (Specific, Measurable,Achievable, Relevant,Time-bound):
1. City will work with AJAC to engage existing Kent training agent partners, and identify additional training agent
partners, to open more apprenticeship slots in anticipation of future KSD youth apprentices. (June 2024)
2. Host a co-branded Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship Event for Kent Schools to educate teachers, school
faculty, school administrators and businesses about the advanced manufacturing industry and youth
apprenticeship. (estimated October/November 2024)
3. Work with the school district to provide professional development opportunities for teachers to engage with
businesses to better align CTE programming with business needs. (On-going)
4. Host at least two employer tours and/or roundtables to further educate school faculty about the local advanced
manufacturing industry. (Summer of 2024—September 2024)
5. Educate IEP and 504 instructors about AJAC programs and opportunities to leverage DVR funds for the training
of IEP/504 students. (On-going)
6. Identify a potential training location and instructor for youth apprenticeship in the Kent School District. (December
2024)
Timeline
May—December 2024
Project Metrics:
1. Two (2) Kent-based manufacturing businesses engaged (such as Blue Origin and/or Six Sigma)
2. (2) Employer tours and/or roundtables in September
3. Hold one (1) STEM Awareness Event in October
4. Outreach/Raise awareness to local manufacturing businesses
5. Number of teachers/school faculty participating in tours/events (all attendees should be tracked at every
event).

Use of consultants or contractors:
AJAC, a statewide apprenticeship program for advanced manufacturing in Kent, will be hired to complete work with
the Kent School District.
Equity: Provide an overview of how intended projects support economically,socially disadvantaged communities,
or WMBE businesses within your city or region.
Building new youth apprenticeship career pathways from Kent schools, particularly Title 1 schools,to our leading employers
creates more equitable access to opportunity in Kent. Currently, Kent School District does not have youth apprenticeship
pipeline similar to Renton or Highline into some Kent's leading employers.
