This joint resolution designates the week of April 27-May 3, 2025, as "Apprenticeship Week" in California, recognizing the critical role of registered apprenticeship programs in workforce development. The resolution highlights how these programs provide opportunities for youth, young adults, and veterans to simultaneously earn competitive wages and gain relevant education and experience across various industries. It emphasizes the importance of apprenticeships in addressing economic challenges, including infrastructure rebuilding, supply chain demands, clean energy workforce development, cybersecurity, and care economy issues. The resolution notes that the U.S. Department of Labor will be coordinating national celebrations, with themes focusing on parental support, educational partnerships, and expanding apprenticeship opportunities for underserved populations. By requesting the Governor to issue a proclamation, the resolution aims to encourage Californians to participate in programs and educational activities that raise awareness about the value of apprenticeships as a pathway to career success, regardless of an individual's background or circumstances.
