registered apprenticeships
Support registered apprenticeships.
Occurrences
Evidence
The bill would expand access to federal childcare assistance for parenting students and expressly includes "Enrollment in a State labor agency-registered apprenticeship" and "Enrollment in a Department of Labor-registered apprenticeship" among eligible activities. Strickland said, "Parents participating in job training programs or apprenticeships deserve access to federal childcare assistance."
The newsletter says Strickland "Joined the Congressional Bipartisan Apprenticeship Caucus to focus on how Congress can support apprenticeships to help people enter the workforce."
Assessments
Strickland promised to support registered apprenticeships, which is an advocacy/support commitment rather than a promise to enact a specific apprenticeship program. During her federal House service, she joined the Congressional Bipartisan Apprenticeship Caucus and introduced legislation that explicitly treated state- and Department of Labor-registered apprenticeships as eligible activities for federal childcare assistance, while publicly arguing that parents in apprenticeships should receive support. These are direct same-term actions materially supporting registered apprenticeships, even though the evidence does not show final enactment of a broader apprenticeship expansion.
