SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Joint Memorial 12 declares February 12, 2007 as ‘NEW MEXICO APPRENTICESHIP

DAY" and requests that all New Mexicans be encouraged to support apprenticeship programs

that are economically and socially beneficial to the state.

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

SJM 12 cites the opportunities for training and career mobility offered by apprenticeship

programs, recognizes that forty-four organization, including business associations and unions,

sponsor programs in the state, and acknowledges that apprenticeship programs are almost

exclusively the industries they serve. Moreover, HJM 12 points out that over two thousand

individuals participate in these programs.

HJM 12 resolves that February 12 be declared a day at the Legislature so organizations

sponsoring apprenticeship programs can be recognized for their service to the citizens of New

Mexico.
