Provides secondary classroom experience credit towards meeting requirements of classroom training portion of registered apprenticeship.

This bill allows secondary school classroom experiences to count as credit toward the classroom training requirement for registered apprenticeships. It directly affects students in New Jersey programs that link high school to apprenticeships, such as those under the Youth Transitions to Work Partnership Act. The key mechanism requires program partners to consult and obtain approval from the U.S. Department of Labor before implementing such credit agreements. This applies to all school-to-apprenticeship linkage programs and apprenticeship programs established under the referenced law. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
