Provide for in-demand skilled trades investment pilot program

Bill LC 2217 proposed a pilot program to provide state funding for training and apprenticeships in high-demand skilled trades, such as construction and manufacturing, targeting workers facing labor shortages. The bill would have allocated resources to support workforce development initiatives directly benefiting workers seeking career opportunities and employers needing qualified staff. However, the bill was assigned to a drafter in December 2024 but died in the legislative process on May 22, 2025, without becoming law.
