SJR26,1,1
1
Relating to:
celebrating May 7, 2025, as Skilled Trades Day in Wisconsin.
SJR26,1,4
2
Whereas, the construction industry is one of our nation's largest industries,
3
and those in the skilled trades work in critical, rewarding, high-paying, high-
4
demand jobs that cannot be outsourced overseas; and
SJR26,1,8
5
Whereas, according to the Associated Builders and Contractors, more than
6
one in four construction workers are over 55 years old, and the construction
7
industry will need to attract an estimated half million additional workers on top of
8
the normal pace of hiring in 2025; and
SJR26,1,12
9
Whereas, Wisconsin's world-renowned registered apprentice program,
10
established in 1912, is the oldest in the nation and allows anyone to participate in
11
structured, on-the-job training with classroom instruction where they earn while
12
they learn; and
SJR26,2,2
13
Whereas, Youth Apprenticeship, which Wisconsin started in 1991 as a first
1
program of its kind in the nation, is a strong connector to registered apprenticeship
2
programs; and
SJR26,2,7
3
Whereas, the State of Wisconsin has invested significant tax dollars to
4
encourage apprenticeship in the form of incentives and grants and passed reforms
5
like allowing EdVest accounts to be used for apprenticeship costs, ratio reform, and
6
allowing high school students to participate in registered adult apprenticeships;
7
and
SJR26,2,11
8
Whereas, those investments paid off when, last year, Wisconsin had an all-
9
time record high number of apprentices in the history of the program, with over
10
17,000 apprentices, many of which were in the construction trades, breaking the
11
previous records set in 2022 and 2023; and
SJR26,2,14
12
Whereas, last year, Wisconsin announced an all-time high of 9,932 youth
13
apprentices enrolled during the 2023-24 school year, with a record 6,671 employers
14
participating; and
SJR26,2,17
15
Whereas, National Skilled Trades Day was created to help raise awareness of
16
the important work of those men and women who build the places where we all live,
17
work, play, worship, learn, and heal; now, therefore, be it
SJR26,2,19
18
Resolved by the
senate
, the
assembly
concurring, That
the Wisconsin
19
State Legislature celebrates May 7, 2025, as Skilled Trades Day in Wisconsin.
