SUMMARY:Biden-Harris Administration Outlines Strategies to Invest in High-Quality Workforce Development
DESCRIPTION:WASHINGTON – Today\, the White House and U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) released a playbook identifying key evidence-based workforce development strategies that state and local governments—leveraging support from the American Rescue Plan’s State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) program—are using to strengthen their workforces\, grow their economies\, and address barriers for underserved workers. The playbook highlights nine prosperous state and local case studies\, ranging from creating union-registered apprenticeships for underserved workers in Harris County\, Texas\, to training 2\,500 new licensed nurses in Oklahoma to providing childcare scholarships for airport workers in Phoenix. These proven workforce strategies—expanding registered apprenticeship programs\, investing in community colleges\, and providing supportive services—are developing the skilled\, diverse workforce state and local governments can use to connect workers with good-paying jobs from the Investing in America agenda.  \n “Today’s announcement shows how the American Rescue Plan is providing state and local governments tools and resources to ensure that Americans can get the skills they need to take advantage of the jobs created by President Biden’s Investing in America agenda\,” said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo. “The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law\, the CHIPS and Science Act\, and the Inflation Reduction Act are expanding economic opportunity to urban and rural communities in every corner of the U.S.\, and the American Rescue Plan’s investments in workforce development are making sure that those opportunities are available to American workers – whether or not they have a college degree.”  \n The State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund\, authorized by the American Rescue Plan and implemented by the Treasury Department\, delivers $350 billion in direct aid to state\, local\, territorial\, and Tribal governments nationwide to support immediate pandemic recovery and long-term economic growth. Recognizing that investments in workforce development projects are significant for future economic prosperity\, the Treasury Department is lifting these promising practices for how SLFRF funds can support and expand the workforce. This includes childcare support\, which enables more parents to enter and remain in the workforce. To date\, communities have budgeted more than $11 billion in SLFRF resources for workforce investments.   \nToday’s playbook is a vital tool for state and local governments to replicate these high-quality investments\, with case studies drawn from successful state and local models across the country supported with American Rescue Plan funds. These approaches\, which align with the Biden-Harris Administration’s Good Jobs Principles\, will grow our economy in the way President Biden believes it grows best—from the bottom up and middle out\, not the top down.  \n A historic investment in our nation’s workforce with American Rescue Plan dollars is just one of the ways President Biden’s Investing in America agenda is helping to create and sustain millions of good-paying jobs\, including union jobs\, in communities across the nation – most of which do not require a four-year college degree. Just this week\, the Administration announced $110 million in new workforce investments\, including nearly $94 million in grants through the new Building Pathways to Infrastructure program to support 34 public-private partnerships and $16 million through the Critical Sectors Job Quality program to enhance job quality\, equity\, and worker voice in the care\, climate resilience\, and hospitality sectors.  \n Today’s playbook on Workforce Investments That Work: A State and Local Guide to High-Quality\, Equitable Workforce Development is available here.

SUMMARY:PROFILES OF EFFECTIVE APPRENTICESHIP AND WORKFORCE SYSTEM ALIGNMENT
DESCRIPTION:This USDOL OA Registered Apprenticeship Center of Excellence (RA COE) will provide technical assistance on a national scope to align apprenticeship with the educational and workforce system.\nRegistered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) sponsors implementing RAPs. It will also support state and local workforce development boards\, American Job Center programs and operators\, governors\, and other essential stakeholders that drive and inform economic and workforce development policies and programs.\nThe following are the main goals of the Center: \n(1) Support the increase in registered apprenticeship as a critical workforce development program\, including efforts to create pipelines (such as pre-apprenticeship and other career pathways) that can increase the diversity and inclusion of apprentices in RAPs. \n(2) Expand on technical assistance activities and services that OA and SAAs (State Apprenticeship Agencies) currently provide to the registered apprenticeship system to support the increase of the use of the RAP model in WIOA or workforce programs that can lead to RAP\, including pre-apprenticeships and other career pathways. \n(3) Expand on the Department’s national efforts and marketing campaign for registered apprenticeship\, improving understanding about registered apprenticeship in the workforce system (e.g.\, American Job Centers\, Business Service Representatives\, Workforce Development Boards\, and YouthBuild)\, leading to increased workforce system participation in RAPs. \n(4) Support an integrated service delivery approach and the development of resources to increase leveraging of WIOA funding and other federal funding across workforce programs (e.g.\, co-enrollment) \n(5) Increase employer\, education and training providers\, intermediaries\, and workforce systems partnership building and connectivity across workforce programs. \n(6) Improve alignment between state education\, workforce system\, and registered apprenticeship system\, with the ultimate goal of informing new policies and/or programs to support RAP integration and alignment. \n(7) Coordinate with the Department\, OA\, SAAs\, and DOL-funded investments that support Registered Apprenticeship expansion to leverage\, align\, and build on existing efforts to maximize the use of resources and minimize the duplication of efforts. Centers must ensure they directly engage with OA and SAAs\, where appropriate\, to support these efforts. \n(8) Improve performance outcomes for RAPs by doubling the current Statewide WOIA support/participation for RAPS over the project period of performance.

DESCRIPTION:Eye care is one of the many areas of the health sector that is struggling with a personnel shortage. The number of practicing ophthalmologists in the U.S. has been trending downward since the 1990s while the demand for doctors and technicians in the field is increasing. \n\n\nIn Madison\, Wisconsin\, SSM Health and Madison College responded to this growing need by establishing the state’s first Ophthalmic Assistant Registered Apprenticeship program to train up to seven students every year. Launched in 2023\, the program is a partnership between SSM Health\, Madison College\, and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards. \nParticipants receive classroom instruction at Madison College and simultaneous on-the-job training at SSM Health eye care clinics. Clinical training continues for another nine months after classroom-based learning concludes. SSM Health pays the apprentices a salary and benefits as well as covering the cost of tuition\, program materials\, and the certified ophthalmic assistant exam. After completing the program\, the students work as ophthalmic assistants with SSM Health\, with a minimum two-year commitment. \n“Wisconsin continues to expand apprenticeships serving in-demand industries throughout the state\,” said David Polk\, Director of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development’s Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards. \nThe Ophthalmic Assistant program is an indication of the increasing interest in non-traditional apprenticeship pathways\, as businesses in many sectors seek new ways to expand their talent pools. The Department of Labor (DOL) hopes to encourage this trend. It has proposed new regulations (29 CFR part 29) that aim to expand Registered Apprenticeships beyond their traditional niche in construction and manufacturing into new industries such as medicine\, education\, and tech.

SUMMARY:For Women’s History Month: Honoring YARG Women
DESCRIPTION:Despite women’s advances in the working world\, many still face barriers to employment and struggle to secure economic stability. Deterrents may include a lack of transportation\, childcare\, education or training\, gender and/or racial bias\, and perhaps a lack of confidence in their abilities. Registered Apprenticeships (RAs) and the YARG program are helping young women overcome these obstacles. \n\n\nFor Women’s History Month\, we’d like to highlight two of our hard-working female apprentices: a single mother who saw no other route for herself besides working at a fast-food chain and a student who had a goal but no path to achieving it. \nArianna\, with two young children\, found help through YARG Palo Alto College to prepare for a career path in the insurance industry. The program supported her with childcare and study sessions\, enabling her to complete two-course certifications. Although the position she was offered was stymied by her lack of transportation\, her newly found confidence remains and will undoubtedly give her a leg up when her next opportunity arises. \nBianca\, a determined high school student\, hoped to become a lawyer. When she took on a paralegal apprenticeship through CareerWise at the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney in Elkhart\, Indiana\, she had no idea that she was becoming the first registered paralegal apprentice in the nation. Her work with high-profile professionals and the skills she acquired there contributed to her college success and led her to adopt an even loftier goal: to become a prosecuting attorney. \nFor the full stories of these remarkable women\, visit their dedicated pages on the YARG community – Arianna and Bianca.

SUMMARY:Gender Equality Month
DESCRIPTION:Advancing gender equality is a matter of human rights\, justice\, and fairness. It is also a strategic imperative that reduces poverty\, promotes economic growth\, and increases access to education and good jobs. \n\n\nThe Women’s Rights Movement began on July 13\, 1848\, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton invited some of her friends for tea. Their talk turned toward the despondent situation of women and their lack of freedom in the world. Today\, we celebrate Gender Equality in March to observe women’s social\, political\, cultural\, and academic achievements—and throughout history—and raise awareness against gender bias in our society. \nThe full participation of all people across all aspects of society is essential to the nation’s economic well-being\, health\, and security. Women continue to lead groundbreaking civil rights movements for social justice and freedom to realize equality’s full promise. During Gender Equality Month\, WorkforceGPS recognizes the efforts of those who continue to carry forward the mission of ensuring equal access to the same opportunities.

SUMMARY:Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:During Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month\, we recognize the numerous contributions and rich culture of Asian Americans\, Native Hawaiians\, and Pacific Islanders (AA and NHPIs). AA and NHPIs have long been essential in writing the American story. From serving our country in uniform\, advocating for civil rights\, starting new businesses\, and winning Olympic medals\, the AA and NHPI community’s contributions touch Americans’ lives every day. \n\n\nAs some of the fastest-growing racial and ethnic groups in the United States\, the AA and NHPI communities represent a multitude of ethnicities\, languages\, and experiences. These traditions—woven into the fabric of the United States—originate from regions across the entire Asian continent and the Pacific islands of Melanesia (New Guinea\, New Caledonia\, Vanuatu\, Fiji\, and the Solomon Islands)\, Micronesia (Marianas\, Guam\, Wake Island\, Palau\, Marshall Islands\, Kiribati\, Nauru and the Federated States of Micronesia) and Polynesia (New Zealand\, Hawaiian Islands\, Rotuma\, Midway Islands\, Samoa\, American Samoa\, Tonga\, Tuvalu\, Cook Islands\, French Polynesia\, and Easter Island). \nVisit the links on this page to learn more about Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. \n  Lasting Legacies: A White House Celebration of AA & NHPI Heritage & History 2024 | White House Initiative on AA and NHPIs \n  Asian Pacific American Heritage Month |AsianPacificHeritage.gov \n  Asian Pacific American Heritage Month | National Archives \n  Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage and History in the U.S. | NEH.gov \n  Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month- AANHPI Heritage All Year | U.S. National Park Service \n  Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center | Smithosonian.org \n  US-Asia Institute | usasiainstitute.org

SUMMARY:Treasury\, IRS release guidance on the prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements for increased credit and deduction amounts under the Inflation Reduction Act
DESCRIPTION:WASHINGTON — The Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations today on the prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements related to increased credit or deduction amounts for certain clean energy incentives\, enacted as a part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). \nThe IRA provides increased credit or deduction amounts for taxpayers who satisfy certain PWA requirements regarding the construction\, alteration or repair of certain clean energy facilities or properties\, projects or equipment. By satisfying the PWA requirements\, taxpayers can generally increase the base amount of the credit or deduction by five times. \n“The increased credit or deduction for taxpayers meeting prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements creates opportunities for both workers and employers\,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said. “The IRS is committed to ensuring that taxpayers claiming the clean energy credits comply with all of the applicable prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. The additional resources the IRS has received are making a difference for our efforts to ramp up taxpayer service and enforcement\, and we will continue to build on these improvements.” \nTo qualify for the PWA increased credit or deduction amounts\, taxpayers generally need to: \n\nEnsure that laborers and mechanics employed in the construction\, alteration or repair of the facility or property\, project or equipment are paid wages at rates not less than applicable prevailing wage rates.\nMeet certain requirements related to employing qualified apprentices from registered apprenticeship programs.\nMeet specific recordkeeping and reporting requirements.\n\nThe PWA requirements apply to all contractors and subcontractors of the taxpayer who employ laborers and mechanics in construction\, alteration or repair work. However\, taxpayers claiming the increased credit or deduction are solely responsible for ensuring that the PWA requirements are satisfied. \nEnsuring that taxpayers claiming the PWA increased credit or deduction amounts have met the requirements – along with enforcing the requirements for other clean energy tax credits – is a top priority for the IRS. In the months ahead\, the IRS will dedicate significant resources to promoting and enforcing compliance with the final clean energy rules. \nThe IRS is committed to working with taxpayers\, their advisors and other stakeholders to ensure compliance\, including conducting appropriate education and outreach. The IRA funding will support efforts for effective tax administration of these novel and cross-cutting provisions. \nAs part of this effort\, the IRS also released Publication 5983\, IRA Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship Requirements Fact Sheet PDF updated Publication 5855\, IRA Prevailing Wage & Registered Apprenticeship Overview PDF and the Prevailing wage and apprenticeship frequently asked questions. \nPublication 5855 provides a summary of the PWA requirements. The frequently asked questions provide more details about the PWA requirements and information for how to alert the IRS of suspected tax violations related to the PWA requirements. The IRS takes referrals of alleged tax violations seriously and may use the information received about potential violations in connection with any applicable audit. \nThe PWA provisions include a significant penalty framework for failures to meet the PWA requirements. The penalty structure is intended to create incentives for real-time compliance with the PWA requirements. \nGiven the potential increased credit or deduction amounts available under the PWA provisions and the significant penalties at stake\, taxpayers should consider establishing frameworks to support timely compliance with the PWA requirements\, including the associated reporting and recordkeeping requirements. To minimize the potential for mistakes and significant penalties\, taxpayers who know they intend to claim an increased credit or deduction amount through satisfaction of the PWA requirements should proactively take steps to position their project for compliance with the PWA requirements. \nThese steps could include\, but would not necessarily be limited to: \n\nRegularly reviewing payroll records.\nEnsuring all contracts require that contractors and their subcontractors adhere to PWA requirements.\nRegularly reviewing the classifications of laborers and mechanics\, prevailing wage rates\, and percentage of labor hours to be performed by qualified apprentices.\nPosting information about prevailing wage rates in a prominent and accessible location or otherwise providing written notice of prevailing wage rates to laborers and mechanics during construction\, alteration\, and repair work.\nEstablishing procedures for individuals to report suspected failures to comply with the PWA requirements without fear of retaliation or adverse action.\nInvestigating reports of suspected failures to comply with the PWA requirements.\nContacting the Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship or the relevant state apprenticeship agency for assistance in locating registered apprenticeship programs.\n\nThe U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) determines the applicable prevailing wage rates for each classification of laborers and mechanics in a prescribed geographic area for a particular type of construction. For more information about prevailing wage rates please visit the Department of Labor’s website. \nTo support the IRS’s efforts in ensuring taxpayer compliance with the PWA requirements\, DOL and the IRS are working on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to be signed by the end of the year. Harnessing DOL’s extensive prevailing wage and registered apprenticeship expertise\, the MOU will facilitate joint and cooperative education and public outreach and development of training content for IRS examination personnel. The MOU will also facilitate DOL’s review and comment as part of the development of PWA tax forms. Finally\, the MOU will formalize a process for DOL to share with the IRS any credible tips or information that DOL receives as to potential noncompliance with the PWA requirements. \nMore information can be found on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 page on IRS.gov.
