WASHINGTON, DC — To help solve the supply problem of highly skilled workers, the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) announced its support of H.R. 4781, the Apprenticeship Act of 2000, introduced by Rep. Roger Wicker (R-MS).

The legislation amends the National Apprenticeship Act of 1937 to bring accountability to the approval process of apprenticeship programs and ensure registration of all legitimate programs in a timely fashion.
