REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP TOWN HALL MEETINGS
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Regulations
What: The Office of Apprenticeship (OA) is hosting three town hall meetings and a Web listening session to provide Apprenticeship Stakeholders and the public an opportunity to inform OA of possible revisions necessary to update and improve Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 30. These efforts represent a critical part of the Department’s process for drafting a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to update and strengthen Apprenticeship’s regulatory framework.
Who: All interested parties are invited to attend the town hall meetings and the webinar.
Why: OA will use these sessions to document stakeholders’ concerns, feedback, and ideas on the effectiveness of the current apprenticeship EEO regulations, and suggestions and recommendations regarding revisions to the regulations.
