SHRM, SHRM California Support Critical Apprenticeship Legislation
SHRM and the California State Council of SHRM (SHRM California) recently wrote to state Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas in support of Senate Bill 75, which would establish a Pre-apprenticeship Pathways to Employment Pilot Program to provide incarcerated individuals with access to high-quality pre-apprenticeship training aligned with state-registered apprenticeships in the skilled construction and building trades. This legislation was introduced by Smallwood-Cuevas and aligns with SHRM’s advocacy priority to increase career opportunities for untapped talent, including people with criminal records. Providing job training to those nearing the end of their incarceration is critical to helping them become self-sufficient and productive members of the community, as well as addressing the workforce shortages that California — and much of the nation — are facing.
