Recent Momentum In Registered Apprenticeship
Earn and learn training programs are a pillar of workforce development and are successful in a variety of forms. Registered apprenticeships, on-the-job worker training, paid internships, and other work-based learning opportunities all connect employers to a workforce that is actively gaining skills, which lowers the level of investment required when recruiting and hiring an individual who has the exact skills on day one. For participants — whether high school students, individuals re-entering the workforce, those currently in the workforce looking to upskill, or anyone in between — earn and learn training programs provide firsthand career exposure and skill development that is directly tied to an industry or employer. https://www.nga.org/publications/adva...



Generally viewed as the gold standard of earn and learn models, the benefits of RAPs are numerous for both the apprentice and the employer. For employers, a successful RAP can provide a steady pipeline of skilled talent, decrease turnover, improve productivity, and create intergenerational and more diverse teams.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is proposing new regulations for its registered apprenticeship program that include improving connections with postsecondary education and better data.

According to a DOL release, the proposed rule would:

Strengthen labor standards, quality and worker protections by making occupational skills and training more portable, enhancing alignment with postsecondary education and providing better performance data.
Better define roles for state apprenticeship agencies and other stakeholders within the National Apprenticeship System.
Codify DOL Office of Apprenticeship’s role for national leadership, promotion and standards.
Promote apprenticeship pathways, including pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship readiness programs, by expanding performance and data requirements to improve accountability, transparency and program outcomes.
Create a student-centric model of registered apprenticeship, called Registered Career and Technical Education Apprenticeship, designed to make them more seamless for full-time high school and community college students to enroll in apprenticeships.
Upon publication in the Federal Register, the notice of proposed rulemaking will be open for public comment for 60 days. DOL will hold a webinar January 11 to review the proposed changes and how to submit public comments https://www.ccdaily.com/2023/12/dol-p...
