LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 332, as amended, Cortese. Apprenticeship programs: career fair: report.

Existing law provides for the establishment of apprenticeship programs in various trades to be approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards within the Department of Industrial Relations in any trade in the state or in a city or trade area whenever the apprentice training needs justify the establishment. Existing law requires a school district or school to notify each apprenticeship program in the same county as the school district or school of a career or college fair it is planning to hold, as specified.

This bill would require the Department of Industrial Relations to evaluate the effectiveness of the above-described notification requirement and submit, by January 1, ~~2025,~~ 2026, a report making recommendations to the Legislature on how to improve outreach to high school students regarding apprenticeship and preapprenticeship opportunities, as well as ways to expand preapprenticeships and incentivize businesses to offer them.
