California Apprenticeship Council
Meeting Recap 

The CAC held its third quarter meeting on July 31, 2014, in San Jose.  There was discussion on the Related Supplemental Instruction (RSI) funding and the fight to have it fully restored in the future.  No funding is restored this year but may be in next year's budget.  In addition, the Department of Labor is looking at a $100 million grant for earn while you learn apprenticeship programs across the nation.  The council ended with an overview of how unemployment benefits are handled for day school apprentices.
