- AR Code
- Title 17
- Chapter 6
(a) The General Assembly finds that: (1) Apprenticeships prioritize on-the-job training and provide workers the opportunity to earn a paycheck while working towards industry-recognized credentials; (2) Apprenticeships allow employers to build a skilled workforce according to industry standards; and (3) Occupational licensing prevents the citizens of this state from taking full advantage of apprenticeships because many apprenticeship-friendly jobs require a license to legally work in this state. (b) It is the purpose of this chapter to allow individuals to work and earn a paycheck while also fulfilling licensing requirements and gaining the skills to fill the needs of an expanding workforce. Added by Act 2021, No. 811,§ 1, eff. 1/1/2022.
