SB 343: Career technical education: high school graduation requirements: apprenticeship and preapprenticeship programs.

The bill aims to allow students to meet the graduation requirement for visual or performing arts, foreign language, or career technical education by completing an approved apprenticeship or preapprenticeship program. This program must be approved by the division or registered with the US Department of Labor. To be eligible, the program must meet specific requirements, including evaluation by the division of apprenticeship standards. This change would provide alternative paths for students to fulfill the graduation requirement, potentially opening up more opportunities for career training and skill development.
