The Department of Labor (DOL) issued a notice requesting nominations of qualified candidates to be considered for appointment to the Advisory Committee on Apprenticeship (ACA) for the 2023-2025 membership term.
DOL re-established the ACA Charter in 2021, and recently renewed its Charter, with revisions, on May 11, 2023.
The ACA membership will consist of a range of 27–30 voting members with balanced representation of employers or industry associations, labor or joint labor-management organizations, and public entities and/or institutions. The ACA is solely advisory in nature, and will consider testimony, reports, comments, research, evidence, and existing practices as appropriate to develop recommendations for inclusion in its final recommendations to the Secretary. Members of the ACA serve without compensation, but
will be allowed travel expenses, including per diem.
The notice includes information on:
- Membership terms;
- Candidate background checks;
- General expectations for ACA members; and
- The nomination process.
All ACA membership nominations must be received by midnight no later than thirty (30) days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.
