Supporting Apprenticeships. Supporting Opportunity. Supporting Our Future.

The ULA Network proudly supports Governor Shapiro’s commitment to expanding apprenticeship, CTE, and vo-tech programs.

When young people like Aliza are given access to real-world training and hands-on career pathways, it changes lives. Apprenticeships are not just an alternative to college — they are a direct pathway to purpose, prosperity, and long-term economic stability.

Increasing funding for Career & Technical Education and apprenticeship programs by 50% is a powerful investment in our workforce, our industries, and our communities. It provides young men and women with the freedom to chart their own course — whether that’s in the building trades, public sector careers, manufacturing, healthcare, or emerging industries.

At the ULA Network, our mission is to support, educate, and promote union labor and workforce development. Strong CTE and apprenticeship pipelines ensure:

• Access to high-wage, high-skill careers

• Reduced student debt burdens

• Strengthened local economies

• A skilled workforce ready to build America’s future

 

When governors prioritize apprenticeships, they prioritize working families.

When we invest in skills, we invest in dignity.

When we support CTE, we support economic mobility.

We commend leadership that recognizes that not every path runs through a traditional four-year college — and that skilled trades and technical careers are essential to our nation’s strength.

The future is built by skilled hands. Let’s keep building it together.
