Illinois Public Act 101-364 requires the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to “conduct a study on the potential expansion of apprenticeship programs in the State and produce a report on its findings.” The intention the recently passed Apprenticeship Study Act is to not only provide an inventory of apprenticeship programs within the state, but to also provide a better understanding of those programs, providing useful information to expand apprenticeship opportunities for employers and potential apprentices, especially those from underserved populations. The report is due to the Governor and General Assembly by June 1, 2020.

In order to fully understand these programs in Illinois, we want to hear from a wide range of stakeholders. The strength of this study depends on you. The survey should take no longer than 5-10 minutes, depending on the number of programs with which you are involved.

Thank you for your participation!
