U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) and U.S. Representative Nathaniel Moran (R-TX-01) have introduced the Workforce Apprenticeship Growth and Education Support (WAGES) Act, which aims to promote registered apprenticeship programs (RAPs) by providing a refundable payroll tax credit for participating employers. This credit will help cover wages for apprentices and mentors, as well as other related costs, making it easier for companies to establish or expand apprenticeship programs amid workforce shortages. The bill outlines specific requirements for eligibility, such as maintaining a RAP and employing at least one apprentice.
