U.S. DOL Publishes Final Rule on IRAPs

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published a final rule “that will help expand apprenticeships in the United States by establishing a system for advancing the development of high quality, Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs (IRAPs).

In a press release the DOL states that,  “this new rule offers employers, community colleges, and others a flexible, innovative way to quickly expand apprenticeship in telecommunications, health care, cybersecurity, and other sectors where apprenticeships currently are not widely available.”
