South Dakota is creating a new State Office of Apprenticeship within the Department of Labor and Regulation to oversee registered apprenticeship programs across the state. The bill defines key terms like "apprentice," "apprenticeable occupation," and "apprenticeship agreement" and sets standards for what qualifies as an approved apprenticeship program, aligning with federal regulations. This establishes a formal system for workers ages 16 and up to learn skilled trades through on-the-job training combined with related classroom instruction.
