The proposed bill establishes the "Michigan Army National Guard and Air National Guard apprenticeship act," which aims to create an apprenticeship program for members of the Michigan Army National Guard and Air National Guard. The program will allow these members to apply their military training and experience towards obtaining a certificate of completion for a registered apprenticeship recognized by the United States Department of Labor. The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will oversee the program, coordinating with various state agencies to ensure that the program is a no-cost benefit to members and aligns with existing apprenticeship standards.

To participate in the program, members must apply and receive approval from their chain of command, and they must hold a compatible military occupational specialty or air force specialty code. The bill outlines the responsibilities of the involved departments, including the identification of relevant military specialties and the synchronization of job titles to ensure members receive appropriate credit for their on-the-job learning. Additionally, the state approving agency for GI bill approvals will be responsible for conducting the necessary approvals for the program.
