ORTT -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Finance AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to establishing the youth apprenticeship program; and making an appropriation therefor (Part A); to amend the education law, in relation to establishing the enhanced regents professional diploma (Part B); and to amend the tax law, in relation to establishing a youth apprenticeship tax credit (Part C) THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "learning for work act". § 2. Legislative findings and intent. According to a recent college and career readiness study released by the New York state education department, only thirty-five percent of high school graduates are college or career ready. This lack of preparedness has driven many high school graduates into low-paying jobs, or college degree programs that they are not interested in, fail to lead to careers and result in an unreasonably high amount of student debt. For many current and future high school students, the traditional pathway of a basic high school education and then on to a four-year college may not be the correct route to take. These students would benefit from a program that would prepare them for employment immediately upon graduating high school. Therefore, the legislature finds it necessary to establish this "learn- ing for work" program in our high schools that will create a youth apprenticeship program, an enhanced regents professional diploma with a designation in a specified occupational area and a tax credit for employers who take part in the youth apprenticeship program. This would further the goals of limiting the accumulation of unsustainable student debt, and ensuring all students in the state of New York are prepared to enter the twenty-first century workforce.
