## Summary

**Creates an international manufacturing exchange to train U.S. workers in allied nations.** The bill would establish the American Manufacturing Revitalization Exchange Program to send U.S. apprentices and postsecondary students to allied countries for work-based training, industry-recognized credentials, and transnational knowledge sharing. - Workers and students: Eligible U.S. participants must have an apprenticeship or be enrolled in a two- or four-year vocational program and would receive a stipend for living costs, training materials, visas, relocation, and health care. Placements run up to 12 months with a one-time 6-month renewal and are capped at 10 participants per year. - Employers and industry: The program targets priority sectors like robotics, semiconductors, aeronautics, additive manufacturing, shipbuilding, energy, and automotive to build skills, share best practices, and reduce reliance on foreign labor and critical components. - Host nations and institutions: The bill encourages agreements with allied governments, trade partners, and companies to host trainees and requires baseline and annual reports to House and Senate foreign affairs committees on placements, outcomes, and lessons learned.
