White House Fact Sheet: Strategies to Train and Connect American Workers to Jobs Created by the President’s Investing in America Agenda
Utilizing Registered Apprenticeship to Build Our Infrastructure
Registered Apprenticeship and pathways that lead people into apprenticeship will help ensure the next cohort of skilled workers are being trained as projects are being delivered. Additionally, Registered Apprenticeship provides an opportunity to make good jobs more accessible to populations that have been underrepresented in the infrastructure workforce including women, people of color, people with disabilities, and others.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”) into law on November 15, 2021. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and economy in our nation’s history. It provides $550 billion over the next five years in new federal investment in infrastructure, including in roads, bridges, mass transit, water infrastructure, resilience, and broadband.
