THE VERY FIRST NATIONWIDE YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP WEEK IS COMING SOON!
2024-01-26 08:00 - 2024-05-16 17:00 UTC | LA
The inaugural Youth Apprenticeship Week (YAW) is only 100 days from today! This year’s celebration will take place May 5-11, 2024. Building off the success of National Apprenticeship Week, YAW is a nationwide celebration highlighting the benefits and value of Registered Apprenticeship program opportunities for youth ages 16–24. Employers, educators, labor unions, workforce professionals, and their partners across the country are launching Registered Apprenticeship programs that allow youth to earn competitive wages while obtaining the relevant training and experience to start their careers, often including the opportunity to earn college credit.
YAW is an opportunity for these stakeholders and others to host events across the country to bring awareness of these life-changing Registered Apprenticeship career opportunities for youth and how they create a sustainable pipeline of skilled and diverse talent for the jobs of today and tomorrow for critical industries.
It is never too early to start planning. The YAW Event Planning Toolkit combined with the YAW Promotion Toolkit has all the resources you need to plan, organize, and host a successful event. During YAW 2024, the U.S. Department of Labor will highlight the following daily themes:
Monday: “Parents and Guardians are a Priority” in Registered Apprenticeship
Tuesday: Youth Apprenticeships: Building Awareness, Myth Busting, Partnering with Educational Providers, and Creating Pathways through Pre-Apprenticeship
Wednesday: Expanding Youth Apprenticeship Opportunities for Underserved Populations
Thursday: National Youth Apprenticeship Signing Day
Friday: Federal Partners Day and Call to Action

Ophthalmic Apprenticeship in Wisconsin Responds to Growing Need
2024-02-27 08:00 - 2024-03-08 17:00 | LA
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.

In 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.
Participants 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.
“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.
The 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.

For Women’s History Month: Honoring YARG Women
2024-03-05 08:00 - 2024-03-23 17:00 | LA
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.

For 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.
Arianna, 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.
Bianca, 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.
For the full stories of these remarkable women, visit their dedicated pages on the YARG community – Arianna and Bianca.

Gender Equality Month
2024-03-12 08:00 - 2024-03-31 17:00 | LA
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.

The 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.
The 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.

Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
2024-05-07 12:30 - 2024-06-01 17:00 | LA
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.

As 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).

The Louisiana Workforce Commission and the Apprenticeship division, WIOA and the Local Workforce Development collaborated to organize the first-ever Youth Apprenticeship Week at Acadian Middle School in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Treasury, IRS release guidance on the prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements for increased credit and deduction amounts under the Inflation Reduction Act
2024-08-07 08:00 - 17:00 | LA
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).
The 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.
“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.”
To qualify for the PWA increased credit or deduction amounts, taxpayers generally need to:

Ensure 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.
Meet certain requirements related to employing qualified apprentices from registered apprenticeship programs.
Meet specific recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

The 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.
Ensuring 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.
The 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.
As 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.
Publication 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.
The 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.
Given 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.
These steps could include, but would not necessarily be limited to:

Regularly reviewing payroll records.
Ensuring all contracts require that contractors and their subcontractors adhere to PWA requirements.
Regularly reviewing the classifications of laborers and mechanics, prevailing wage rates, and percentage of labor hours to be performed by qualified apprentices.
Posting 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.
Establishing procedures for individuals to report suspected failures to comply with the PWA requirements without fear of retaliation or adverse action.
Investigating reports of suspected failures to comply with the PWA requirements.
Contacting the Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship or the relevant state apprenticeship agency for assistance in locating registered apprenticeship programs.

The 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.
To 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.
More information can be found on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 page on IRS.gov.
