AI Summary
This bill aims to remove barriers for students enrolled in state-registered apprenticeship programs to access the Washington College Grant. It requires the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to fully implement this goal by the 2025-26 academic year, including creating a student information technology interface and establishing data-sharing agreements with other state agencies. The bill also directs the Student Achievement Council to contract with the William D. Ruckelshaus Center to evaluate paths to credentials for apprentices, examine national best practices, research apprentices' demand for degrees, and review the current funding model for apprentices within the community and technical college system. Additionally, the bill requires all institutions of higher education to establish a policy for granting as many credits as possible and appropriate for related supplemental instruction in active state apprenticeship programs by the 2028-29 school year.
