The Employment and Training Administration oversees the program and the program materially supports implementation of the listed presidential executive orders.
Official White House records confirm that all four named executive orders exist and contain explicit directives to the Secretary of Labor and/or the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) to expand or prioritize Registered Apprenticeships or related workforce training in the skilled trades, AI, maritime, and nuclear sectors. • EO 14278, "Preparing Americans for High-Paying Skilled Trade Jobs of the Future," directs the Secretary of Labor (with Commerce and Education) to develop a plan to surpass 1 million new active apprentices and to expand Registered Apprenticeships into new industries and occupations. • EO "Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth" instructs the Secretary of Labor, through the Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training, to increase participation in AI-related Registered Apprenticeships and to make AI skills training a priority in ETA youth-focused grants. • EO "Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance" directs multiple agencies, including the Secretary of Labor, to deliver recommendations on workforce training and maritime education programs, including apprenticeships for shipbuilders and mariners. • EO "Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base" explicitly requires the Secretary of Labor and Secretary of Education to seek increased participation in nuclear-energy-related Registered Apprenticeships and to prioritize such training in Employment and Training Administration grants. A September 23, 2025 Department of Labor release further confirms that Registered Apprenticeship expansion agreements are part of the department’s efforts to implement these executive orders and are overseen by the Employment and Training Administration. On this basis, the statement accurately reflects that the program is overseen by ETA and is framed as supporting implementation of several presidential executive orders related to expanding Registered Apprenticeships. Therefore, the verdict is True because primary executive-order texts and DOL’s own description of its apprenticeship initiatives substantiate both the oversight role of ETA and the connection to implementing those executive orders to expand Registered Apprenticeships.
