The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration issued a final rule updating the equal employment opportunity regulations that impact the National Apprenticeship Act of 1937. Current regulations prohibit discrimination in registered apprenticeship programs on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin and sex. An amendment to 29 CFR Part 30 updates the equal employment opportunity standards to include age (40 or older), genetic information, sexual orientation and disability among the protected base.
The final rule took effect Jan. 18; however, many of the provisions have delayed effective dates.
