HB 1061 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

Provides that an apprenticeship committee may recommend to the apprenticeship council that an associate degree pathway be developed for the committee's program.

Provides that, in consultation with the state board for community and technical colleges, the council shall consider the extent apprentices in the program are likely to pursue an associate degree and the extent a pathway could reduce redundancy of course requirements between the apprenticeship and a degree.

Provides that, if the council determines that a pathway would be beneficial for apprentices and assist them in obtaining an associate degree, the council shall request that a pathway be established by a community or technical college as provided in this act.
