Fast Track Healthcare Apprenticeships Act
This bill amends the National Apprenticeship Act to streamline healthcare apprenticeship program registration. It requires the Department of Labor to decide on healthcare apprenticeship program applications within 45 days, providing written explanations for delays exceeding that period (Section 2(a)). The bill defines "health care field" to include specific healthcare occupations like nurses and medical technicians (Section 2(b)(1)). Additionally, it mandates that all apprenticeship agreement forms, including employer and disability disclosure forms, be digitized (Section 3). These changes directly affect healthcare training programs seeking federal apprenticeship registration.
