"Congress continues to demonstrate its support for expanding apprenticeship. In 2016, DOL received $90 million in the first-ever congressional appropriation targeted specifically at apprenticeship expansion. Since then, this amount has climbed steadily—$95 million in FY 2017, then $145 million in FY 2018, then $160 million in FY 2019. In past years, these funds have been distributed by DOL through a blend of grants and contracts to states, national organizations, and other intermediaries—and to date, only registered apprenticeships have been eligible for these funds. We’re still waiting to see exactly how all the FY 2018 dollars will be spent, not to mention the latest pot of FY2019 money on top of it."

President Trump issues Executive Order 13801 on expanding apprenticeshipThe concept of IRAPs originated in President Donald Trump's Executive Order Expanding Apprenticeships in America, which describes the model as apprenticeships developed by "third parties" including trade and industry groups, companies, non-profit organizations, unions, and joint labor-management organizations.
Americans face enormous economic challenges in 2019. But rushing to implement the proposed parallel IRAP system carries risks the administration would be wise to consider. Federal recognition of IRAP accreditors could make the new programs eligible for state and federal aid, including G.I. Bill benefits, with limited oversight or quality assurance.
