Current Narrative:
The Governor of Guam recently wrote to USDOL ETA and indicated the following in her letter regarding new markets in agriculture and aquaculture.
"How I plan to support the expansion of quality and innovative apprenticeship training
programs that are aligned with the WIOA State Plan is to continue to work closely with our
business community and agency partners alike. Under my direction, the Guam Economic
Development Authority and the Guam Department of Labor are working with farmers and
encouraging them to take advantage of apprenticeship programs and expanding the
programs to agriculture and aquaculture — just as we have done for skilled trades in health
care, hospitality, ship repair, construction, and information technology industries."
