Funding Job Training: New Apprenticeship Programs for Future Careers.

This Act establishes a federal grant program to help states cover the costs of pre-apprenticeship training and related instruction for qualified apprenticeship programs. Citizens will benefit from subsidized courses in high-demand sectors like IT and healthcare, making it easier to acquire valuable, high-paying skills. The program specifically aims to increase opportunities for underserved populations, including minorities and veterans.
Key points
Subsidized Training: The federal government will cover 20% to 50% of tuition, fees, textbooks, and educational materials for participants in these specialized training programs.
Focus on New Industries: Funding targets the expansion of apprenticeships in non-traditional, high-growth fields such as information technology and advanced manufacturing.
Increased Access: States must implement strategies to boost participation among minority groups, youth, veterans, and individuals facing employment barriers.
