Bill > S431

This bill, the Promoting Apprenticeships through Regional Training Networks for Employers' Required Skills (PARTNERS) Act of 2019, establishes a grant program to promote registered apprenticeships and on-the-job training programs for small and medium-sized businesses within in-demand industry sectors. It provides funding to states to support the establishment and expansion of eligible local or regional industry or sector partnerships that will help businesses navigate the apprenticeship process, connect with education providers, and provide supportive services to workers in these training programs. The bill also outlines performance accountability measures and reporting requirements for the grant program.
