Law

This bill creates two grant programs to help colleges that offer apprenticeships in construction and manufacturing. It would provide $10 million every year from 2026 to 2030 to help these schools grow their programs and support their students.
Colleges could receive up to $500,000 to reach out to high schools and local businesses. The goal is to teach students and parents about the benefits of learning a trade and to encourage local companies in rural and suburban areas to hire these graduates.
Schools could also get grants to provide extra help for students, such as career advising, tutoring for English learners, and help with childcare or mental health services. These supports are designed to help students stay in school and finish their training.
The program focuses on helping people who may face extra challenges, such as rural students, first-generation college students, and minority groups. It specifically targets training for jobs like painting, glasswork, and factory manufacturing.
