纽森宣布4440万美元新增4.9万个学徒名额 自2019年加州已支持69.4万个边学边赚机会
加州州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）10月16日（周五）在克恩县Bakersfield宣布，加州将投入4440万美元，通过全州131个项目培训4.9万名新学徒。州长办公室表示，自2019年以来，加州已支持超过69.4万个边学边赚（earn-and-learn）机会，其中包括近26.7万名注册学徒。
纽森当天在克恩县宣布这一消息。此前，他会见了正在接受培训、准备成为电信安装员与电工的技能工人；这批学员今后将从事电力、照明、控制与电气系统的建设和维护，服务企业与工业运转。州长办公室介绍，本轮投入包括两部分：学徒创新基金（Apprenticeship Innovation Fund）拨款1590万美元，资助67个项目、惠及约1万人；就业培训委员会（Employment Training Panel）拨款2850万美元，支持64个学徒项目，预计培训约39,040名加州工人。
纽森表示，加州正通过创纪录的学徒项目细化劳动力战略，目前全州劳动力中每30人就有1人完成过边学边赚或学徒项目，这为劳动者提供了通往可持续高薪工作的路径。加州劳工与劳动力发展署署长斯图尔特·诺克斯（Stewart Knox）表示，每一个学徒名额都是加州人凭技能与目标建设未来的机会，持续扩大边学边赚机会能让更多劳动者有能力养家并在职业上成长。就业培训委员会执行主任杰西卡·格莱姆斯（Jessica Grimes）博士表示，学徒制已成为通往可持续职业的主要路径之一，该委员会此次将支持近4万名工人。
据州长办公室统计，纽森任内加州非传统学徒项目已扩大76%，覆盖医疗、先进制造、科技等用工需求旺盛的领域；新宣布的学徒名额使全州自纽森上任以来的边学边赚机会总数超过69.4万个，已超过他设定的到2029年创造50万个边学边赚学徒机会的目标；同期全州共服务266,756名注册学徒，州政府称这一进度使加州有望实现到2029年服务50万名注册学徒的另一目标。
州长办公室同时公布了加州劳动力市场数据：从2025年9月至2026年9月，加州新增129,300个就业岗位，约占全美净新增496,000个岗位的26%，岗位增速超过全国水平两倍；同期失业人数连续十个月下降，失业率持稳于5.1%。
劳资关系厅（DIR）同日发布的数字显示，学徒创新基金累计已投入8,800万美元，支持92个项目的近4万名学徒，平均总时薪达51.74美元。纽森还表示：「我们的投入正在见效：加州工资比全国高20%，生产率增速是全国的两倍多。」
Newsom Announces $44.4 Million for 49,000 New Apprenticeships; California Has Backed 694,000 Earn-and-Learn Opportunities Since 2019
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced in Bakersfield, Kern County, on Friday, October 16, that the state will invest $44.4 million to train 49,000 new apprentices through 131 programs statewide. Since 2019, California has supported more than 694,000 earn-and-learn opportunities, including nearly 267,000 registered apprentices, according to the governor's office.
Newsom made the announcement in Kern County after meeting skilled workers training to become telecommunications installers and wirepersons who will build and maintain the power, lighting, controls and electrical systems that keep businesses and industries running. The governor's office said the latest investment has two parts: $15.9 million through the Apprenticeship Innovation Fund for 67 programs supporting approximately 10,000 people, and $28.5 million in Employment Training Panel funding for 64 apprenticeship programs expected to train an estimated 39,040 California workers.
Newsom said California is aligning its workforce strategies through record-breaking apprenticeship programs, noting that 1 in 30 Californians in the workforce has completed an earn-and-learn or apprenticeship program and describing the programs as pathways to sustaining good-paying jobs. Stewart Knox, Secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, said every apprenticeship is an opportunity for Californians to build a future, and that the continued expansion of earn-and-learn opportunities gives more workers the tools to provide for their families and grow in their careers. Dr. Jessica Grimes, Executive Director of the Employment Training Panel, said apprenticeships have become one of the leading pathways to sustainable careers and that the panel will support nearly 40,000 workers in this round.
According to the governor's office, California has expanded non-traditional apprenticeships by 76% under Newsom, growing opportunities in health care, advanced manufacturing, technology and other high-demand sectors. The new apprenticeships bring total earn-and-learn opportunities to more than 694,000 since Newsom took office, surpassing his goal of creating 500,000 earn-and-learn apprenticeships by 2029. The state has served 266,756 registered apprentices over the same period, which the governor's office said puts California on track to meet a separate goal of serving 500,000 registered apprentices by 2029.
The governor's office also released state labor-market figures: from September 2025 through September 2026, California added 129,300 jobs, about 26% of the nation's 496,000 net payroll gain, growing at more than twice the national rate, while unemployment fell for ten consecutive months and the jobless rate held steady at 5.1%.
Figures released the same day by the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) show the Apprenticeship Innovation Fund has invested a cumulative $88 million across 92 programs supporting nearly 40,000 apprentices, whose average total hourly compensation is $51.74. Newsom added: 'Our investments are paying off: California wages are 20 percent higher than the rest of the nation; California's productivity grew more than twice as fast as the rest of the nation.'
