Bill > AB805

This bill establishes the Career Apprenticeship Bridge Program, which will be administered by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) within the California Department of Industrial Relations. The program aims to create and support apprenticeship opportunities for young people aged 16 to 24, both in school and out of school. Specifically, the program will coordinate apprenticeships, identify and approve industry pathways for preapprenticeship and apprenticeship programs, provide paid training opportunities and supportive services to out-of-school youth, and create a streamlined data system to help guide decision-making. The bill also seeks to identify resources to support youth apprenticeships and establish partnerships between local educational agencies, the State Department of Education, the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, other state agencies, and employers to effectively implement the program. By creating this bridge program, the legislation aims to help young people transition more effectively from education to career opportunities through structured apprenticeship experiences.
