A SENATE bill that seeks to improve apprenticeship programs for the Filipino youth will ensure that the next generation of workers will be better equipped with updated skills amid the emergence of digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI), Go Negosyo founder Jose Ma. 'Joey' Concepcion 3rd said on Wednesday.

Concepcion, who is also the Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) lead for jobs, said that if passed, the Apprenticeship Bill will address threats faced by the country's labor force, especially those in business processing outsourcing and call centers.
