Supporting Apprenticeship Colleges Act of 2025

# Supporting Apprenticeship Colleges Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to support and expand apprenticeship colleges—educational institutions that combine traditional classroom learning with paid, on-the-job training. If passed, it would likely provide federal funding, grants, or other support to help these colleges develop and operate programs across the country. The bill seeks to create more pathways for students to earn credentials and gain work experience simultaneously, without accumulating heavy student debt. **Who It Affects** The bill would primarily affect students seeking career training and alternative routes to traditional four-year degrees, employers looking for trained workers, and educational institutions offering apprenticeship programs.

It could also impact workforce development agencies and community colleges that partner with employers to run these programs. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Angie Craig (D-Minnesota) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. Additional details about specific provisions are not yet publicly available.
