What's happening

This bill requires the education commissioner to develop and update guidelines to help high schools promote apprenticeship opportunities to students.

Why it matters

  1. Improves student access to skilled trades careers. by ensuring high school counselors have standardized, up-to-date information and tools to introduce apprenticeships as a viable post-graduation path, potentially broadening career options for students not pursuing traditional college.

  2. Fosters stronger connections between schools and local trades industries. , as the guidelines require coordination with building trades councils, helping students learn about real-world opportunities and possibly leading to stronger school-to-work pipelines.

  3. Aims to address workforce shortages in skilled trades. by increasing awareness and participation in apprenticeships, which can help fill gaps in industries facing aging workforces or high demand for new talent.
