Apprenticeship programs would need at least one experienced 'journeyworker' for every three apprentices.
This bill would require all registered and industry-recognized apprenticeship programs to have at least one experienced 'journeyworker' for every three apprentices. A journeyworker is someone who has mastered the skills for their job. The bill would also create a new process for recognizing industry-recognized programs.
Today, federal law does not require apprenticeship programs to maintain a specific number of experienced 'journeyworkers' for every apprentice. If this bill becomes law, all registered and industry-recognized apprenticeship programs would need to employ at least 1 journeyworker for every 3 apprentices. It would also create a new federal process for recognizing groups that set standards for industry-recognized apprenticeship programs.
