Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE ALIGNMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WITH REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIPS, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill aims to align Colorado's high school career and technical education (CTE) programs with registered apprenticeship programs, particularly in the fields of infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, education, and healthcare. The key provisions include:
1. Establishing state-level advisory boards to create state-approved CTE programs that align with registered apprenticeship programs, and educating apprenticeship sponsors on how to incorporate CTE program credits into their standards.
2. Requiring the state apprenticeship agency and the CTE division of the Colorado Community College System to expand the number of aligned programs in the identified high-demand industries.
3. Authorizing the Community College System to receive funding for these alignment efforts through limited-purpose fee-for-service contracts.
4. Appropriating funds to the Department of Labor and Employment and the Department of Higher Education to implement the provisions of the bill.
The goal is to increase the adoption of registered apprenticeships and provide more students with opportunities to earn while they learn and obtain industry-recognized credentials.
