This bill increases the amount appropriated to the Department of Workforce Development for the apprenticeship completion award program by $150,000 in fiscal year 2016-17. Currently, $225,000 is appropriated in that fiscal year for that program, which reimburses apprentices and their sponsors for up to 25 percent of the tuition costs incurred for instruction related to the apprenticeship or $1,000, whichever is less.
