The Fast Track Healthcare Apprenticeships Act streamlines the registration process for healthcare apprenticeship programs under the existing National Apprenticeship Act. The bill requires the Secretary of Labor to make a decision on healthcare apprenticeship registration applications within 45 days, and if that deadline cannot be met, to provide written notice with an estimated decision date of no more than 90 days. The legislation applies to apprenticeships in healthcare practitioner, technical, and support occupations as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Labor digitize all apprenticeship agreement forms, including employer agreements and disability disclosure forms, to modernize the application process. No specific funding amount or implementation deadline is specified in the legislation beyond the decision timelines for applications.
