WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: Requests the Department of Education and Workforce Commission, along with local school boards and chambers of commerce, to aggressively develop and promote high quality, youth-serving apprenticeship programs and work-based experiences for high school students.

This bill is a concurrent resolution that asks state agencies and local partners to create and promote apprenticeship programs specifically designed for high school students. It directs the Department of Education and the Workforce Commission to work with school boards and business groups to develop these opportunities, which combine classroom learning with paid on-the-job training. The legislation requires these entities to submit a written report by January 16, 2025, detailing their findings and recommendations for improving how young people access career training.
