Executive Order 13801: Expanding Apprenticeships in America was a presidential executive order issued by President Donald Trump (R) in June 2017 that encouraged the adoption of apprenticeship programs for institutions of higher education and created the Task Force on Apprenticeship Expansion. The order aimed "to provide more affordable pathways to secure, high-paying jobs by promoting apprenticeships and effective workforce development programs, while easing the regulatory burden on such programs and reducing or eliminating taxpayer support for ineffective workforce development programs," according to the text.[1]

President Joe Biden (D) revoked E.O. 13801 on February 17, 2021, via Executive Order 14016.[2]

Background

President Donald Trump (R) issued Executive Order 13801, titled "Expanding Apprenticeships in America" on June 15, 2017. E.O. 13801 created the Task Force on Apprenticeship Expansion and sought to encourage apprenticeships in higher education as a means to address rising higher education costs and economic challenges:[1]

“ America's education systems and workforce development programs are in need of reform. In today's rapidly changing economy, it is more important than ever to prepare workers to fill both existing and newly created jobs and to prepare workers for the jobs of the future. Higher education, however, is becoming increasingly unaffordable. Furthermore, many colleges and universities fail to help students graduate with the skills necessary to secure high-paying jobs in today's workforce. Far too many individuals today find themselves with crushing student debt and no direct connection to jobs.[3] ”

Provisions

Policy

Section 2 of E.O. 13801 stated that the policy of the executive order was to provide pathways to secure jobs by promoting apprenticeships and workforce development programs. Section 2 proposed easing regulations and taxes for "ineffective workplace development programs."[1]

Establishing industry recognized apprenticeships

Section 4 of E.O. 13801 states that the secretary of labor and the secretary of education shall consider proposing regulations that promote the development of apprenticeship by third parties. It suggests trade and industry groups, companies, nonprofit organizations, unions, and joint labor-management organizations as possible third party groups to develop apprenticeships.[1]

Funding to promote apprenticeships

Section 5 of E.O. 13801 states that the secretary of education shall use public funding to promote apprenticeships among students at accredited secondary and post-secondary educational institutions. It states that the secretary shall use funding to develop apprenticeships in sectors that do not currently have sufficient apprenticeship opportunities and expand youth participation in apprenticeships.[1]

Expanding access to apprenticeships

Section 6 of E.O. 13801 directed the U.S. attorney general and the secretaries of labor, defense, and education to promote apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships "for high school students and Job Corps participants, for persons currently or formerly incarcerated, for persons not currently attending high school or an accredited post-secondary educational institution, and for members of America's armed services and veterans." The order also directed the secretaries of commerce and labor to promote apprenticeships to business leaders.[1]

Promoting apprenticeships at colleges and universities

Section 7 of E.O. 13801 directed the secretary of education to support the efforts of community colleges and four-year colleges to incorporate apprenticeship programs into existing courses of study.[1]

Task Force on Apprenticeship Expansion

Section 8 of E.O. 13801 established the Task Force on Apprenticeship Expansion within the Department of Labor and directed the task force to prepare a report for the president on "(f)ederal initiatives to promote apprenticeships . . . administrative and legislative reforms that would facilitate the formation and success of apprenticeship programs ... the most effective strategies for creating industry-recognized apprenticeships; and ... the most effective strategies for amplifying and encouraging private-sector initiatives to promote apprenticeships."[1]

The order directed the secretary of labor to serve as the chair of the task force and the secretaries of education and commerce to serve as vice chairs. The task force included no more than 20 members.[1]

Excellence in apprenticeships

Section 9 of E.O. 13801 directed the secretary of labor to establish an Excellence in Apprenticeship Program to encourage businesses to adopt apprenticeship programs and encourage students to participate in apprenticeships.[1]

Workforce development programs

Section 10 of E.O. 13801 directed each agency head to submit a list of programs administered by their agency designed to promote skills development and workplace readiness. The order required the director of the Office of Management and Budget to evaluate the job training programs in each agency using the list of programs and provided analysis.[1]

Aftermath

Executive Order 13801 was revoked by President Joe Biden (D) on February 17, 2021, via Executive Order 14016. President Biden's order did not provide a reason for the revocation.[2]
