National Apprenticeship Act

The National Apprenticeship Act, enacted in 1937, established a federal framework to promote apprenticeship programs across diverse industries. It aimed to create structured training opportunities that combine practical work experience with classroom learning, helping workers develop essential skills. The Act also authorized the Department of Labor to oversee and support these programs, ensuring quality standards. Its goal is to provide workers with reliable training pathways that lead to skilled employment, benefiting both workers and employers by strengthening the workforce and encouraging economic growth through well-trained professionals.
