Employers who invest in apprenticeship programs would receive a tax credit to offset some of the wages and costs they pay for training workers on the job. This would reduce the payroll taxes that companies owe to the federal government, making it cheaper for businesses to hire and train apprentices in skilled trades. The goal is to encourage more employers to create apprenticeships and help workers gain practical job skills while earning money.
