The comment period for the U.S. Department of Labor's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on increasing the representation of under-represented groups in apprenticeship programs has been extended until January 20, 2016. The purpose of the proposed rule is to ensure this talent pool is inclusive of all qualified candidates, including people with disabilities. Employers and other organizations that sponsor apprenticeship programs (or may do so in the future) are encouraged to submit feedback. To assist in doing so, the Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) developed a policy brief about the NPRM.
