Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to developing guidelines to encouraging participation in apprenticeships and raising awareness in apprenticeship opportunities
Purpose
To ensure that high school students in New York are made aware of apprenticeship and trade opportunities.
Summary of provisions
Section one directs the commissioner, in consultation with the department of labor and pupil personnel advocates, develop guidelines for use by high school guidance counselors in making students aware of apprenticeship opportunities and encouraging student participation in apprenticeships.
Section two sets the effective date.
Justification
Every year many jobs in New York go unfilled because of the lack of workers with the appropriate skills necessary to fill those jobs. Many of these jobs are in the building trades. Often times, apprenticeships are the best way to receive the skills necessary to obtain such jobs. Raising awareness about such apprenticeship opportunities at the high school level allows students the chance to potentially participate in an apprenticeship and gain valuable work skills and life experience as they consider their future educational and/or work path beyond high school, and for businesses to fill middle-skill jobs that are needlessly left vacant.
Legislative history
None.
Fiscal implications
To be determined.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
