Bill Summary
This bill provides that an apprenticeship sponsor or lead apprenticeship sponsor that conducts an apprenticeship program registered with the United States department of labor, office of apprenticeship, through Iowa, for apprentices who will be employed at worksites located in Iowa may apply to the department of workforce development for financial assistance if the apprenticeship program includes a minimum of 75 contact hours per apprentice for the first training year of an apprenticeship program and 100 contact hours per apprentice for each full training year of the apprenticeship program thereafter. Under current law, the required time period is a minimum of 100 contact hours per apprentice for each training year of the apprenticeship program.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the eligibility requirements for financial assistance from the Iowa Department of Workforce Development for apprenticeship programs. Specifically, the bill reduces the minimum contact hours requirement for the first training year of an apprenticeship program from 100 hours to 75 hours, while maintaining the 100 contact hours requirement for each subsequent full training year. To be eligible, apprenticeship sponsors must run a program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship through Iowa, with apprentices employed at worksites within the state. This change provides more flexibility for apprenticeship programs in their initial training year, potentially making it easier for sponsors to qualify for financial assistance and support workforce development efforts in Iowa.
