Military affairs: other; Michigan National Guard apprenticeship program; create. Creates new act.

Senate Bill 237 creates the Michigan Army National Guard and Air National Guard Apprenticeship Program. This program will assist members of these units in applying their military training and experience toward earning a registered apprenticeship certificate from the United States Department of Labor. The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will establish and operate the program as a no-cost benefit, coordinating with other state agencies to align military occupational specialties with civilian apprenticeship standards. Eligible members can participate if their military training is compatible with a registered apprenticeship, with on-the-job learning occurring during duty hours.
