The federal government would fund and help create training programs that prepare people for apprenticeships in construction and building trades, with a focus on reaching people from low-income areas and rural communities who are typically underrepresented in these fields. These pre-apprenticeship programs would help workers gain the skills needed to enter well-paying construction jobs while expanding opportunity in communities that have been left behind. The Labor Department would oversee the development and support of these programs across the country.
