Apprenticeship Pathways Act of 2025

The Apprenticeship Pathways Act of 2025 would establish or expand apprenticeship and training programs across multiple sectors including building construction, science and engineering, vocational and technical education, and medical fields. The bill would likely create pathways for disadvantaged students and workers to gain practical skills and credentials while earning wages, potentially addressing workforce shortages in skilled trades and technical professions. If enacted, the legislation could increase funding for apprenticeship programs and coordinate education and employment training initiatives, though the specific mechanisms and funding levels are not yet detailed in available materials. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate in January 2025 and referred to committee for consideration.
