H.R. 7098 · 118th Congress
Servicemember Apprenticeship Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Servicemember Apprenticeship Act
This bill requires the Department of Defense (DOD) to conduct a study to identify the private entities participating in Skillbridge that offer positions in registered apprenticeship programs to members of the Armed Forces who are eligible for Skillbridge. Skillbridge provides members of the Armed Forces with opportunities to gain civilian work experience through training, apprenticeships, or internships and connects service members who are transitioning to civilian life with job experiences.
DOD must consult with officials and employees of the Department of Labor who have experience with registered apprenticeship programs to facilitate DOD entering into agreements with entities that offer apprenticeship programs in areas where DOD determines few positions are available to members of the Armed Forces.
