Why we checked itA specific percentage increase in apprenticeship funding is a concrete, verifiable claim about Pennsylvania budget allocations.
What we foundThe 60% figure is real but applies to a broad workforce development category (CTE, vo-tech, and apprenticeships combined), and only reaches 60% with the most recently signed 2026-27 budget; earlier official sources described the increase as approximately 50%.
