Apprenticeships for Small Businesses Act of 2025

This bill creates a new tax credit for small businesses to support workforce training. It allows eligible small businesses to claim a credit equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees under 21 or enrolled in approved apprenticeships, community college programs, or career training related to the business, plus qualified workmen’s compensation expenses, capped at $10,000 per year. The credit applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, and is designed to directly benefit small businesses seeking to train young workers through structured educational programs. It does not change existing labor laws but provides a financial incentive to invest in employee development.
