Businesses would get tax credits for hiring apprentices in infrastructure jobs.

Employers would get a new tax credit for hiring new workers through approved training programs. This would encourage businesses to train people for important infrastructure jobs. It would also provide a larger credit for hiring military veterans and their families.

What Would Change

Currently, businesses do not receive a specific federal tax credit for hiring individuals through apprenticeship programs. If this bill becomes law, businesses would be able to claim a tax credit of $3,000 for most new apprentices, or $6,000 for military-affiliated apprentices. This credit would be available until a total of $5 billion has been claimed across the country.

Key Provisions

Creates a new tax credit for businesses that hire new employees through qualified apprenticeship programs.
Provides a $3,000 tax credit for hiring most new apprentices, and a $6,000 credit for hiring recently separated veterans, National Guard or reserve members, or military spouses.
Allows the credit for the first year an apprentice enrolls and potentially the next year if the program involves 3,000 or more hours of on-the-job training.
Reduces the credit if an apprentice is employed for 90 to 180 days, and denies it if employed for fewer than 90 days.
Denies the credit if an apprentice is laid off for non-disciplinary reasons or if the apprentice pays for their program (unless from public or non-profit funding).
