Apprenticeship Act

Feb. 5, 2021 | H.R. 447

H.R. 447 would modernize the Registered Apprenticeship Program by authorizing significant new funding to expand registered apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships and youth apprenticeships in the United States. It also would codify and streamline existing standards that are vital to support apprentices, including youth apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs. It also would bolster the role of the Office of Apprenticeship at the Department of Labor and provide funding streams to ensure oversight and technical assistance. The bill would support more than 1 million Registered Apprenticeship opportunities over the next five years. Finally, it would ensure that experts from industry and labor have a role in improving the program. This bill passed the House on Feb. 5, 2021.
