Apprenticeship has been a major focus of the Biden administration, and previously the Trump administration, with each taking markedly different approaches. The Trump administration expanded apprenticeship through regulations, making it easier to establish programs through industry-recognized apprenticeship programs. The Biden administration has withdrawn these regulations and is now moving forward with its own proposed rule targeting registered apprenticeship programs.

In this webinar, a panel of experts compared the two approaches. The panel also provided insight into upcoming regulations for apprenticeships, including new potential DEI regulatory requirements. The panel also discussed the heavy reliance on a combination of regulatory and subregulatory guidance on apprenticeships, including in the implementation of green energy tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, and how this may be affected by Loper Bright's recent decisions and Relentless ending Chevron's reverence. .
