insufficient. Upon completion of this
assignment, the Task Force shall submit
to the President of the United States a
final report detailing these strategies
and proposals. Pursuant to the
Executive Order and the charter, the
report must specifically address the
following four topics:
• Federal initiatives to promote
apprenticeships;
• Administrative and legislative
reforms that would facilitate the
formation and success of apprenticeship
programs;
• The most effective strategies for
creating industry-recognized
apprenticeships; and
• The most effective strategies for
amplifying and encouraging privatesector initiatives to promote
apprenticeships.
The Task Force is solely advisory in
nature, and will consider testimony,
reports, comments, research, evidence,
and existing practices as appropriate to
develop recommendations for inclusion
in its final report to the President. While
the Executive Order did not set forth a
definite time by which the panel must
complete its development of
apprenticeship-related strategies and
proposals and submit its final report to
the President, it is important to note that
the Task Force will not be continuing in
nature. Additionally, given the nature
and mission of the Task Force, some of
the meeting proceedings could be
included in a regulatory docket for an
apprenticeship rulemaking, or other
collection of documents made available
by the agency for public viewing.
Pursuant to both the Executive Order
and the Charter, the Task Force shall
terminate 30 days after it submits its
final report to the President.
Under both the Executive Order and
the Charter, the Secretary of Labor shall
serve as the Chair of the Task Force. The
Secretaries of Education and Commerce
shall serve as Vice-Chairs of the Task
Force. The Secretary of Labor has
appointed the representative members
of the Task Force, which consists of
twenty (20) individuals who work for or
represent the perspectives of trade and
industry groups, companies, workforce
advocacy organizations, unions, joint
labor-management organizations,
educational institutions, state or local
governments, and such other persons as
the Secretary of Labor may from time to
time designate. These members include
distinguished citizens from outside of
the Federal Government with relevant
experience concerning the development
of a skilled workforce through quality
apprenticeship programs. Pursuant to
the Executive Order and the charter, a
member of the Task Force may
