An executive order to consolidate federal workforce programs could address workforce shortages among senior living and other aging services providers by expanding apprenticeships, industry advocates say.

Trump signed an executive order, “Preparing Americans for High-Paying, Skilled Trade Jobs of the Future,” on April 23 with the goal of expanding and improving job training for skilled trades. The order directs the Labor, Education and Commerce departments to streamline and consolidate federal workforce programs, with a focus on expanding registered apprenticeships to more than 1 million annually.
