Re-create the IRAP system by statute

Not started

595 18. Department of Labor and Related Agencies

“Congress should expand apprenticeship programs outside of the RAP model, re-creating the IRAP system by statute and allowing approved entities such as trade associations and educational institutions to recognize and oversee apprenticeship programs.”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    No bill of the 119th Congress re-creates the Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Program system by statute or authorizes trade associations and educational institutions to recognize apprenticeship programs outside the Registered Apprenticeship Program. Thirteen apprenticeship bills were introduced; every one works inside the RAP or the tax code.

    No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes

  • Negative search: chapter log, Cluster negative search — the apprenticeship asks (#1637, #1638, #1639, #1641).
  • The executive half of the same object is #1637, which is attempted on the streamlining limb and untouched on the IRAP limb.
