PR 26-0148 - Apprenticeship Council William Dean Confirmation Resolution of 2025

Overview

Bill Number: PR 26-0148
Title: Apprenticeship Council William Dean Confirmation Resolution of 2025
Status: Referred to Committee on Executive Administration and Labor
Introduced: March 20, 2025

Purpose and Intent

This resolution seeks to confirm the appointment of William Dean to the state Apprenticeship Council. The Apprenticeship Council is responsible for overseeing and advising on the state's registered apprenticeship programs, which provide structured on-the-job training and classroom instruction to help workers develop specialized skills. By confirming Dean's appointment, the legislature aims to ensure continuity and leadership in the Council's work of expanding access to apprenticeship opportunities across the state.

Key Provisions

  • Confirms the appointment of William Dean to the state Apprenticeship Council for a 3-year term
  • Requires Dean to have experience and expertise in workforce development, vocational training, and apprenticeship programs
  • Directs the Council to continue prioritizing the growth of registered apprenticeships in high-demand industries like manufacturing, construction, and information technology

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • William Dean, the nominee, who would be officially appointed to the Apprenticeship Council if the resolution is approved
  • Employers and workers in industries that rely on apprenticeship programs to build a skilled workforce
  • State workforce development agencies and training providers that collaborate with the Apprenticeship Council

The confirmation of Dean's appointment is expected to provide stable leadership and continuity for the Council's efforts to expand access to apprenticeship opportunities and meet the talent needs of the state's employers.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The resolution has been referred to the Committee on Executive Administration and Labor, which will hold hearings and a committee vote before sending it to the full legislature for consideration. If approved by the legislature, the resolution would immediately confirm Dean's appointment to the Apprenticeship Council. The Council's work would then continue under his leadership for the duration of the 3-year term.
