The U.S. Department of Labor’s Registered Apprenticeship Program is one of the most viable training programs in developing a skilled workforce in our nation.
Did you know that as a U.S. DOL Registered Apprenticeship Program employer, you may be able to offset your company’s owed business privilege tax equal to the amount of fifty percent (50%) of all eligible costs paid or incurred by your company to train your apprentices?
The Guam Registered Apprenticeship Program (GRAP) Law was enacted by P.L. 28-142 on July 18, 2006 as an incentive designed to assist employers in the development of a skilled workforce. The purposes of GRAP are to reduce the shortage of highly skilled workers, to encourage employers to hire and train apprentices in highly skilled trades and occupations, to authorize tax credits for certain long term apprenticeship training expenses, and to ensure that apprentices continue to pay income taxes and participate in the economy as productive individuals.
