The U.S. Department of Labor announced that it published a final rule that will help expand apprenticeships in the United States by establishing a system for advancing the development of high-quality, Industry-Recognized Apprenticeship Programs (IRAPs). The rule itself was published March 10, 2020, and remains in the implementation phase until May 10, 2020 at which time it will begin active operations.
