INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Campos
FEBRUARY 17, 2011
An act to amend Section 8152 of the Education Code, relating to
apprenticeship programs.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 848, as amended, Campos. Apprenticeship programs.
Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction or
the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, whichever is
appropriate, to make reimbursements to high schools, unified school
districts, regional occupational centers or programs, community
colleges, or adult schools for related and supplemental instruction
provided to indentured apprentices in apprenticeship programs, as
specified.
This bill would require the Superintendent or the Chancellor to
require recipients of reimbursements for related and supplemental
instruction provided to apprentices in the building and
construction trades to report annually, prior to receiving
reimbursement, information concerning the number and percentage of
those apprentices who have received postsecondary
educational credit and the amount of credit earned, and the number
and percentage of apprentice graduates who have completed a
postsecondary degree. The bill would require this information to be
formatted for collection and presentation so as to best convey pupil
progress toward degree completion for each participating institution
and would also require the Superintendent or Chancellor, upon
request, to provide the information to the Division of Apprenticeship
Standards in the Department of Industrial Relations .
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
