HB 1061: Associate deg/apprentices

Authorizing associate degree pathways for persons in apprenticeship programs at community and technical colleges.

Summary

  • Requires community and technical colleges to develop associate degree pathways for apprentices, if necessary resources are available and if the local apprenticeship committee and college determine a pathway would benefit apprentices.
  • Directs the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) to convene a work group to examine current rules regarding instruction, course grading, and tuition waivers to reduce barriers for apprentices to earn associate degrees.
