The resolution encourages the United States Congress to set hiring goals for apprentices and veteran apprentices in domestic Department of Defense construction projects. It highlights the significant contributions of veterans, who have received specialized training through military service, and emphasizes the challenges they face in transitioning to civilian life, including higher unemployment rates. The resolution notes that military construction jobs present a valuable opportunity for veterans to further their careers, and it advocates for legislation that mandates that at least 10 percent of the workforce on these projects be participants in qualified apprenticeship or postsecondary programs, with a specific requirement that 10 percent of those apprentices or students be veterans.

The Alaska State Legislature expresses its commitment to supporting veterans by urging Congress to implement these hiring goals, recognizing the importance of providing employment opportunities for those who have served in the armed forces. The resolution is directed to various high-ranking officials and members of Congress, emphasizing the need for legislative action to ensure that veterans are given priority in the workforce, particularly in sectors that require skilled labor.
