SB 16 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE PREAPPRENTICESHIP GRANT PROGRAM.

SB 16 appropriates funds from the General Fund to the Department of Education for the preapprenticeship grant program through fiscal year 2026. It directly affects students who successfully complete preapprenticeship training programs by guaranteeing each such student receives at least $1,000. The key mechanism requires the state to fully fund the program, ensuring participants get a minimum cash award upon completion. This bill focuses on providing concrete financial support to students entering skilled trades, not on broader policy changes.
