Servicemember Apprenticeship Act

The Servicemember Apprenticeship Act (HR 7098) directs the Secretary of Defense to study private companies offering registered apprenticeships to military members eligible for the Skillbridge program (Section 1143(e) of Title 10). It requires the Department of Defense to consult with the Department of Labor to create agreements with companies in areas where few apprenticeship opportunities exist for these members. The bill aims to expand access to registered apprenticeship programs by identifying participating entities and facilitating partnerships. This directly affects transitioning service members seeking civilian career training through Skillbridge.
