Show full summary
  • Small businesses: Would get targeted help to create and improve work-based learning, registered apprenticeship programs, pre-apprenticeships, and job training programs.
  • Small Business Development Centers: Would have a broader duty to include apprenticeship-related topics, succession planning, and training content in their counseling and outreach.
  • Apprentices, trainees, and local training providers: Would gain clearer links to federal workforce authorities because the bill cross-references existing federal programs and requires sharing agency information.
