The Apprenticeship Pathways Act of 2025 aims to enhance apprenticeship opportunities for high school students, creating better pathways for them to enter the workforce. This legislation focuses on providing practical training and experience through apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships, particularly for students who may struggle to complete their education or find employment. Key provisions include establishing contracts between the Secretary of Labor and industry intermediaries, which are organizations that connect employers with educational institutions to promote apprenticeship programs.
