Aligning Registered Apprenticeship and Workforce Development and Education Systems
About
As a proven work-based learning strategy, Registered Apprenticeship helps employers access skilled workers and job seekers access new careers. Aligning apprenticeship with state workforce and education systems is a win-win-win. It brings more resources to support apprenticeship programs and apprentices, simplifies access for employers and job seekers, and helps workforce development and education systems meet their goals of educating and training people to meet employers’ talent needs.
