Would create a state-funded program (if approved) to help more people enter construction jobs through apprenticeship training. The main goal of the bill is to increase access to these careers for women, nonbinary individuals, and other underrepresented groups. The California Department of Industrial Relations would give funding to organizations that provide training, and the money could help cover costs like lost wages, childcare, and transportation. Programs would also help people find jobs, and they must report results to the state.
