Blunt participates in apprenticeship conference

U.S. Senator Roy Blunt Monday participated in a virtual press conference about apprenticeships with the Missouri Chamber of Commerce.

As Labor/HHS Committee Chair, Blunt helped secure a 94 percent increase in the apprenticeship program over the past five years.

Blunt says a $6 million Department of Labor grant received in February is being used to create 5,300 new apprenticeships in the tech industry.
