Rep. Bobby Scott, the top Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee, said Thursday that there was “broad bipartisan support” to expand apprenticeship programs, a policy that the White House has been pushing throughout the week.

“There is broad bipartisan support … The challenge is that you need some sort of accountability,” the Virginia Democrat said. He said he had several concerns over the potential direction of the policy and said the current standards for accountability in the government’s existing apprenticeship programs should be maintained.
