A bill now in Congress promises a tax credit to contractors involved in apprenticeship training programs. Sponsor of the “Skilled Workforce Enhancement Act” (H.R. 1824) is Rep. James M. Talent (R-MO).
The amount of tax credit stated in the bill is $15,000 per employee per year for employees or former employees who received at least 2,000 hrs of training, including on-the-job training.
