The resolution from the Alaska State Legislature encourages the United States Congress to establish hiring goals for apprentices and veteran apprentices in domestic Department of Defense construction projects. It highlights the unique qualifications and training that veterans possess, emphasizing their maturity, responsibility, and the challenges they face in transitioning to civilian life, including higher unemployment rates. The resolution notes that military construction jobs present significant opportunities for veterans, particularly those in apprenticeship and postsecondary programs, to advance their careers.

Specifically, the resolution calls for legislation that mandates contractors and subcontractors on these projects to ensure that at least 10 percent of their workforce consists of participants in qualified apprenticeship or postsecondary programs, with a further stipulation that at least 10 percent of these participants be veterans. The resolution aims to support veterans' employment and integration into the workforce while recognizing their service and the skills they bring to the civilian job market. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal officials and members of Congress to advocate for this initiative.
