Lori Chavez-DeRemer praised initiatives to turn the lion’s share of manufacturing back to American workers.
Federal apprenticeship programs can help recruit and develop a highly-skilled workforce, improve productivity and profitability, create flexible training options, and minimize liability costs.
Chavez-DeRemer expressed her desire to support the American worker, have them upskilled and re-skilled, and create higher-paying jobs through apprenticeships.
The Biden administration may bring potential rule changes to the labor standards for apprenticeships and the proposal for Industry Recognized Apprenticeship Programs may be on the table again.
