WASHINGTON, DC – April 25, 2023 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) issued the following statement from President Sean McGarvey regarding the National Apprenticeship Act of 2023:

“We are pleased with today’s bipartisan introduction of the National Apprenticeship Act of 2023. Registered Apprenticeship is the gold standard of all workforce development models. Our unions are living proof of its success as we have trained and graduated millions of men and women from these programs and into middle class careers in construction,” said Sean McGarvey, President of North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU). “Now is the time to strengthen and expand Registered Apprenticeship into other industries, for both blue and white collar jobs, who need to recruit and retain a well trained workforce. We look forward to working with Republicans and Democrats to move and pass this timely legislation.”
