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 bill outlines the eligibility criteria for participation in the program, requiring members to hold compatible military occupational specialties and to be approved by their chain of command. It mandates that the program be offered at no cost to the members and specifies that on-the-job learning must occur during duty hours under supervision. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the necessary GI bill approvals and requires the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to create rules for implementing the act.
