Supporting Apprenticeship Colleges Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill creates two new grant programs to help colleges that offer construction and manufacturing apprenticeships. One program focuses on finding new students while the other helps current students finish their training.
• Colleges can receive up to $500,000 to reach out to high schools and local businesses. The goal is to show students and parents the benefits of trade careers and help graduates find jobs in rural and suburban areas.
• The plan also provides money for student services like career advising, childcare, and mental health counseling. These resources are meant to help students stay in school and complete their certifications.
• The government would set aside $10 million each year from 2026 through 2030 for these grants. Priority will be given to programs that help rural students, first generation college students, and minority groups.
