Corrado Bill Establishing ‘Registered Apprenticeship Program’ Clears Committee
Legislation sponsored by Senator Kristin Corrado that would establish the Registered Apprenticeship Program for State Agencies in the Department of Labor and Workforce Development was advanced by the Senate Labor Committee.
“Professional apprenticeships open new doorways for individuals who choose a skills-based career path, including on-the-job training, mentors, and nationally-recognized industry credentials,” said Corrado (R-40). “And just like private employers, State agencies can, and should, take advantage of the benefits of registered apprentices to better recruit and retain State workers. My legislation will help facilitate this by establishing a Registered Apprenticeship Program specifically for State Agencies.”

Ned Lamont on Tuesday in vouching for the kind of apprenticeship programs that are helping Electric Boat ramp up its submarine-building workforce.
Prior to a news conference, a contingent of government leaders and elected officials headed by Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, the former Rhode Island governor, and Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, the former Boston mayor, toured EB’s shipyard here.
No media were allowed on the tour.
During the news conference, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., referred to Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3rd District, as “the most powerful person in the room,” a nod to her December election as chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee.

STAFF REPORT
BOWLING GREEN, Mo. â A new training program offered by the not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation and its partners will give participants skills they can use to get a variety of jobs.
The Registered Apprenticeship Program will provide on-the-job training to people who NECAC hires for weatherization positions.
The effort is a partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor, Missouri Department of Labor, the Northeast Missouri Workforce Development Board and St. Charles Community College.
âWe put together a program to train apprentices on performance labor,â NECAC Deputy Director for Housing Development Programs Carla Potts said. âOur goal is to hire people for weatherization, but the skills participants learn will allow them to work just about anywhere as well as for college credit.â
