This may lead to increased employment and better economic outcomes for workers. It also aims to address underrepresentation in certain sectors by targeting specific populations.

Business Impact

The bill aims to support small and medium-sized businesses by promoting registered apprenticeships and work-based learning programs. This could improve workforce skills and reduce training costs for businesses, potentially boosting productivity and competitiveness. However, participation may vary depending on business needs and resources.
