To direct the Secretary of Labor to award grants to develop, administer, and evaluate early childhood education apprenticeships, and for other purposes.

HR 1834 directs the Secretary of Labor to provide federal grants to states for developing and evaluating early childhood education apprenticeship programs. These programs must train workers in childcare settings, help apprentices earn credentials or degrees, and prioritize underserved rural communities (requiring at least 25% of funds for these areas). States must track outcomes like apprenticeship completion rates, full-time employment in childcare within six months, and median earnings after graduation. The bill mandates annual reporting on program effectiveness and requires states to partner with colleges and businesses to offer academic credit for training. This policy directly affects early childhood educators, apprentices, and childcare providers seeking structured career pathways.
