Kathryn Moody at Construction Dive reports on U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, and Republican Lisa Murkowski introducing legislation aimed at modernizing the National Apprenticeship Act, providing funds for employers to craft Apprenticeship Programs in new industries and to improve access to child care, elder care and other “wrap-around” services.  The legislation would update the current Act of 1937 to encourage employers to create Apprenticeships in manufacturing, cyber-security, clean energy and other in-demand industries.  It also seeks to streamline the application process and encourage employers to develop sector partnerships to build career pathways.
