As part of the 2021 pandemic rescue package, state and local governments have committed $11 billion to worker training
. The money must be spent by the end of 2026 and the administration is trying to ensure the investments pay off as promised.
“This is a chance to make a once-in-a-generation investment in the skills and well-being of workers in your communities — an investment that will reap benefits well beyond pandemic recovery," Treasury Department official Veronica Soto says in draft remarks obtained by The Associated Press. The eight-page playbook being issued in conjunction with the remarks details possible models that the administration believes state and local governments can follow.
The document encourages them to use registered apprenticeship programs, which have seen enrollment more than double over the past decade to 607,509 active apprentices, according to the Labor Department. Starting salaries for those who complete the programs average $80,000. Harris County, Texas, committed $10.9 million to place 1,000 of its low-income residents into union apprenticeships and technology training programs, having put a focus on opportunities for women, people of color and those without a four-year college degree. The state of Maine plans to double its total number of apprenticeships with $11 billion.
