Whereas, each November the nation and Wisconsin celebrate Apprenticeship
4Week to raise awareness of this career pathway for individuals to start a career in
5this state; and
SJR87,1,96
Whereas, Wisconsin has a rich tradition of promoting apprenticeship training
7as the first state to create a registered apprenticeship law, which is seen as a national
8model for other states, and as one of the first in the nation to create a youth
9apprenticeship program to help students gain experience while still in school; and
SJR87,1,1310
Whereas, Wisconsin continues to set records for the number of registered
11apprentices, which hit a record high in 2022 with nearly 16,000, and the same is true

135,700 employers; and
SJR87,2,214
Whereas, apprenticeship in Wisconsin has expanded to nearly all industries,
15including agriculture, finance, transportation, health care, and construction and is
1used by all employers to provide training to employees so they can have a long-term
2career in our state while also earning a nationally recognized credential; and
SJR87,2,53
Whereas, the apprenticeship model continues to help Wisconsin address the
4workforce shortage by helping employers train and hire the workers they need to
5keep Wisconsin's economic engine moving forward; now, therefore, be it
SJR87,2,8
6Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the Wisconsin
