Supporting Apprenticeship Programs in Key Industries

This act aims to increase the number of apprenticeship opportunities, especially in high-growth sectors. By supporting organizations that help businesses create such programs, citizens will gain more chances to acquire valuable work experience and better earnings, often without student loan debt.
Key points
More Apprenticeship Opportunities: The act supports the creation of new apprenticeship programs, especially in industries with high demand for workers, such as healthcare and IT.
Support for Businesses: Intermediary organizations (called "workforce intermediaries") will receive grants to help companies launch and run apprenticeship programs, making it easier for employers to offer such positions.
Benefits for Apprentices: Individuals participating in apprenticeships can expect wages, little to no student loan debt, industry-recognized credentials, and access to well-paying jobs (averaging $77,000 annually upon program completion).
Diversity and Accessibility: The act promotes the inclusion of underrepresented groups, such as women, minorities, youth, individuals with disabilities, and veterans, in apprenticeship programs.
