Apprenticeships to College Act

Apprenticeship programs are a proven path to good-paying careers, but they don't always connect well with college credits. This bill would have the Department of Labor and the Department of Education team up to create a national Apprenticeship College Consortium — a network of 2- and 4-year schools, employers, and training providers that agree to award academic credit for apprenticeship coursework and on-the-job training. The goal is to make it easier for apprentices to earn a college degree alongside their hands-on training, with better data sharing, aligned financial aid, and a public website listing participating schools and programs.
