Summary

AB 2466 amends the Education Code to give the chancellor’s office an extra year to issue rules for paid work‑based learning and to let money given to regional Strong Workforce consortia be spent directly on apprenticeships, internships and similar programs. The changes affect community‑college districts, local educational agencies and the regional consortia that receive Strong Workforce funding, aiming to boost student employability and align training with local labor‑market needs.
