S 1852 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides dedicated funding for promotion of apprenticeships and apprenticeship programs from Workforce Development Partnership Fund.

This bill establishes dedicated funding from New Jersey's Workforce Development Partnership Fund specifically to promote apprenticeships and apprenticeship programs. It requires 5% of annual fund revenues (starting in 2021) to be allocated to the Department of Labor for One Stop Career Centers to support state-accredited apprenticeships, and 0.5% to fund the Apprenticeship Start-Up Grant Program. These provisions directly affect apprenticeship programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor and help displaced and disadvantaged workers access industry-valued credentials. The bill creates a concrete, mandatory funding mechanism to expand apprenticeship opportunities without changing eligibility criteria or creating new programs.
