Rep. Budzinski pushes for apprenticeships in first bill in Congress – WCIA (Champaign)

The Leveraging and Energizing America’s Apprenticeship Programs (LEAP) would provide $1,500 federal income tax credits for businesses offering apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeship programs. “By providing tax credits to small businesses, this bill will both address the need for more qualified workers and cut educational costs for job seekers,” U.S. Rep. Nikki Budzinski said.
