What’s going on:   

Four U.S. Senators including John Thune (R-SD), Tim Scott (R-SC), Mike Braun (R-IN), and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) reintroduced legislation called Training America’s Workforce Act –collectively stating that the bill would help address the country’s workforce shortages by helping individuals receive on-the-job learning and classroom instruction.  

The bill would instruct the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to implement policies that were included in an industry-recognized apprenticeship program rule that was published by the Trump administration back in 2020. Those policies have since been rescinded by the Biden administration, according to FRN.

Why it matters:   

This proposed legislation would grant authorized third-party entities – such as qualified trade associations or esteemed higher education institutions – the ability to validate and monitor industry-recognized apprenticeship programs (IRAP) formulated by private industries and other organizations. 

How it’ll impact the future:   

The legislation aims to expand the pool of skilled workers available to businesses by providing employers with another way to train and hire prospective employees. This could lead to a more competitive labor market in a market currently experiencing labor shortages. Receiving industry-recognized credentials during participation in or upon completion of an IRAP might ensure that workers are equipped with the necessary skills to excel in their chosen fields. However, this may also raise concerns about the quality and consistency of these programs – as well as the potential for conflicts of interest between the entities overseeing the programs and the industries they serve.
