Biden Announces Investments in Workforce Development, Apprenticeships

The Biden-Harris administration is expanding the Registered Apprenticeship program in certain U.S. industries and investing in workforce development to provide job access to women, people of color, veterans and other historically marginalized workers, according to a July 11 announcement from the White House.

As part of the administration’s broader Investing in America plan, the investments are intended to create training pipelines for in-demand jobs, regardless of college degree.

“To do that, the Administration launched nine Investing in America Workforce Hubs across the country that are bringing together unions, local governments, employers, training providers, schools, community colleges, and other stakeholders to facilitate partnerships to train and connect workers to jobs in high-demand sectors,” according to the announcement.
