AGC of America is reviewing a newly released 779-page U.S. Department of Labor proposed rule to “modernize” regulations governing registered apprenticeship programs.

On Dec. 14, the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA) released a 779-page proposed rule to “revise the regulations for registered apprenticeship by enhancing worker protections and equity, improving the quality of registered apprenticeship programs, revising the State governance provisions, and more clearly establishing critical pipelines to registered apprenticeship programs, such as registered career and technical education (CTE) apprenticeships.”

AGC of America is conducting a comprehensive review of the proposed rule and will provide more information shortly. The 60-day comment period on the proposed rule begins after it is published in the Federal Register. The proposed rule has not been published in the Federal Register to date.

The ETA is hosting a webinar on the proposed rule on Jan. 11 at 2:00 p.m. ET. To register, click here.
