Bill Summary
This bill provides that partners participating in a consortium applying for a grant under the "Youth Transitions to Work Partnership Act," P.L.1993, c.268 (C.34"15E-1 et seq.), are required to consult and gain approval from the United States Department of Labor before making agreements which provide that secondary classroom experience may count as credit toward meeting the requirements of the classroom training portion of a registered apprenticeship. This requirement applies to any school-to-apprenticeship linkage program or apprenticeship program established under the grant.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any group, or consortium, that is applying for a grant under the "Youth Transitions to Work Partnership Act" (a law designed to help young people move into the workforce) must get approval from the United States Department of Labor before they can make agreements that allow high school classroom experience to count towards the classroom training part of a registered apprenticeship. A registered apprenticeship is a formal training program that combines on-the-job experience with classroom instruction, leading to a recognized credential. This rule applies to any program that links schools with apprenticeships or any apprenticeship program set up using these grants.
