Pre-Apprenticeship Wrap-around Support Services Fund Act of 2025

This bill would allow the Secretary of Labor to give grants to groups that run pre-apprenticeship programs, so they can pay stipends to people enrolled in those programs. Stipends could only reimburse transportation costs, lost hourly wages caused by program participation, and costs of getting industry-based certifications. Grantees would have to give priority to people with a barrier to employment and track results such as how many participants enter a registered apprenticeship or find work in the industry within 12 months. Grantees and the Secretary would file yearly reports, and the bill authorizes whatever funding is necessary.
