REGION 4 WORK-BASED LEARNING PANEL & LUNCH • Workforce Development Opportunity
Friday, May 17, 2024 | 11:00AM – 1:00PM
The Northern Virginia Workforce Development Committee is pleased to announce that we will be hosting a panel luncheon with the Region Four Work-Based Learning representatives on Friday, May 17, 2024, from 11:00 am to 12 Noon.
This is an exciting effort we have put together to give you the full scoop on how you can take advantage of the Department of Education’s initiative to enable students to apply classroom instruction in a real-world business or service-oriented work environment.
The groundwork is laid, the plan is in place, and this initiative gives you the chance to showcase construction career opportunities to students enrolled in grades 6 – 12. All of your questions will be answered.
With trades talent becoming more scarce and less individuals opting for careers in construction, this is one of the best places to start in battling the workforce shortage!
Region 4 covers: Arlington, Alexandria, Clarke, Culpepper, Fairfax, Falls Church City, Fauquier, Frederick, Loudoun, Madison, Manassas City, Manassas Park, Orange, Page, Prince William, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Warren, and Winchester.
**Event is limited to 50 attendees.**

WHAT DOES THE BIDEN DOL’S CONTROVERSIAL APPRENTICESHIP PROPOSED RULE MEAN FOR ABC MEMBERS AND CHAPTERS?
Tuesday, January 30, 2024 | 2:00PM – 3:15PM | Virtual
**This is an ABC National webinar. Please register here. ABC members only.**
On Dec. 14, 2023, the Biden administration announced a 779-page U.S. Department of Labor proposed rule that would make significant and controversial revisions to the National Apprenticeship System. The proposal was widely criticized by ABC and other stakeholders for its additional red tape, costs and pro-union and controversial provisions that are expected to discourage new and existing participants in the government-registered apprenticeship system. The proposed rule will ultimately undermine investments in America’s infrastructure, clean energy and manufacturing construction projects.
Maury Baskin and Ben Brubeck will provide an overview of the proposal and will explain how it will affect ABC members, ABC chapters, apprentices and other industry stakeholders participating in government-registered apprenticeship programs. Participants will learn about the many problematic and limited beneficial provisions of the proposal and receive instructions about how to participate in regulatory and advocacy efforts to help improve this extensive regulation.
