This bill directs the Secretary of Labor to create a comprehensive data collection and reporting system for apprenticeship programs across the United States. Within one year of enactment, the Department of Labor must establish a unified technology platform that collects standardized data from state apprenticeship agencies, program sponsors, and administrators, with technical and financial assistance provided to ensure all entities can report into this system. The bill requires the Labor Department to make non-personal apprenticeship data publicly available through a searchable website that displays information about program offerings by location and occupation, education providers, credentials offered, and program outcomes. This information will help young people, apprentices, employers, and training providers find and compare apprenticeship opportunities across the country. The legislation does not specify funding amounts but states that any appropriated funds must be used exclusively for developing, implementing, and administering the national apprenticeship system and related data infrastructure.
