AFT President Randi Weingarten on Trump’s Apprenticeship Announcement

Washington—AFT President Randi Weingarten on President Donald Trump’s executive order and announcement on apprenticeships:

“We believe strongly in apprenticeship programs. They give Americans the opportunity to develop the technical skills and hands-on knowledge they need for the good jobs of today and tomorrow. While we don’t know the contours or details of this order, we are ready to work with anyone, including this administration, to ensure apprenticeship programs—like the ones the building trades have modeled—are high-quality and prevent bad actors from preying on students, and that real investments are made in career and technical education in high schools and community colleges.”
