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 Military and Veterans Affairs will oversee the program, coordinating with various state agencies to ensure that the apprenticeships align with federal standards and that members receive appropriate credit for their on-the-job learning.

The program is designed to be a no-cost benefit for participants, requiring them to complete specific on-the-job learning hours and meet other apprenticeship requirements. Members must apply for the program and receive approval from their chain of command. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, along with other relevant departments, work together to identify compatible military occupational specialties and ensure that job titles and descriptions are synchronized for accurate crediting of experience. The state approving agency for GI bill approvals will also be involved in the necessary approvals for the program.
