Baldwin, Murkowski Introduce Bill to Modernize and Expand Apprenticeships Programs to Meet 21st Century Workforce Needs

Press Release

"To grow our economy, expand the middle class, and meet businesses' workforce demands, we need to ensure workers have access to the training and skills to land good-paying jobs. And apprenticeship programs are a time-tested way of doing just that. When we invest in workforce training programs, we are investing in our families, our future, and our Made in Wisconsin economy. The National Apprenticeship Act will invest in our skilled workforce to connect more Wisconsinites with family-supporting careers, whether it be in the traditional trades like construction, plumbing, welding, and electrical work, or new and emerging industries like cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, and computer science. This legislation will both help Wisconsinites get a job that gives them economic security and help businesses find the skilled workers they need."
