Bill > SB00016

This bill provides funding for the preapprenticeship grant program through an appropriation from the General Fund to the Department of Education for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The bill aims to fully fund the existing preapprenticeship grant program, which is established under section 10-21p of the general statutes, with the specific goal of ensuring that each student who successfully completes the program receives at least one thousand dollars. A preapprenticeship program is typically designed to help prepare students for entry into apprenticeship programs or specific career paths by providing foundational skills, training, and support. By mandating a minimum award of one thousand dollars, the bill seeks to incentivize student participation and completion of the program, potentially increasing workforce development opportunities and supporting students' career readiness.
