The Apprenticeships to College Act mandates that the Secretary of Labor, in cooperation with the Secretary of Education, establish an interagency agreement within one year of enactment. This agreement aims to promote and support the integration and alignment of programs under the national apprenticeship system with secondary, postsecondary, and adult education. The Secretaries are also required to submit this agreement and any modifications to relevant congressional committees. The core of the bill is the establishment of a Registered Apprenticeship College Consortium , comprising postsecondary institutions, related instruction providers, sponsors, and employers. The interagency agreement will outline how the Secretaries will support data sharing between education and apprenticeship records, provide guidance on aligning funding from acts like the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act and the Higher Education Act, and require consortium participants to have articulation agreements. Participants must also create or expand the awarding of academic credit for apprenticeship instruction and support electronic transcripts for all academic and training content. The bill also provides for technical assistance on financial aid for related instruction and ensures public access to information about the consortium and its offerings, though participation remains voluntary for institutions and sponsors.
