I. Abstract

    President Trump has outlined key workforce policy priorities 
through two Executive Orders. In June 2017, he signed the Presidential 
Executive Order 13801 Expanding Apprenticeships in America to ``provide 
more affordable pathways to secure, high paying jobs by promoting 
apprenticeships and effective workforce development programs.'' In July 
2018, he signed the Executive Order 13845 Establishing the President's 
National Council for the American Worker as amended by Executive Order 
13853 (83 FR 35099 as amended by 83 FR 65073), ``to work with private 
employers, educational institutions, labor unions, other non-profit 
organizations, and State, territorial, tribal, and local governments to

better meets the needs of American students, workers, and businesses.'' 
The National Council is creating a national workforce strategy in

Standards and Technology's Baldrige Performance Excellence program is 
creating a new Presidential Award to recognize demonstrated excellence 
in implementing the Pledge to America's Workers. This program fulfills 
the requirements of both Executive Orders, each of which called for the
