South Dakota is establishing a new State Apprenticeship Agency within the Department of Labor and Regulation to oversee registered apprenticeship programs across the state. The agency will set standards for apprenticeship programs, register new programs, review their performance, and approve apprenticeship agreements between sponsors and apprentices. The agency will also handle reciprocity applications from programs registered in other states, investigate complaints against programs, and can temporarily suspend or deregister programs that fail to comply with state rules or federal standards.
