The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Education and the Louisiana Workforce Commission, in collaboration with regional economic development organizations, local school boards, and chambers of commerce, to actively develop and promote high-quality apprenticeship programs and work-based experiences tailored for high school students. It highlights the importance of apprenticeships as effective training programs that combine on-the-job training with job-related education, allowing students to earn wages while gaining valuable skills. The resolution also points out the current lack of clarity in Louisiana's laws and policies regarding work-based learning opportunities, which hinders students' access to these programs.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for a comprehensive assessment of existing work-based learning opportunities and funding sources within Louisiana's school systems. It seeks to identify best practices, recommend clear definitions for various work-based learning experiences, propose new opportunities to fill existing gaps, and suggest improvements to support students' pathways to apprenticeships. The Department of Education is tasked with submitting a written report of findings and recommendations by January 16, 2025, to the relevant legislative committees, ensuring that public schools receive the necessary support to enhance career and workforce readiness for students.
