Last month, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would establish a process for development of high-quality, industry-recognized apprenticeship programs. It also announced recent awards and future funding to support the development and expansion of apprenticeship programs for educational institutions in partnership with companies. Through a variety of initiatives, DOL’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) works to ensure disability inclusion in apprenticeship programs.
