The Seven Key Elements of All Registered Apprenticeship Programs
About
Registered Apprenticeship is an industry-driven pathway to high-quality careers where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience; progressive wage increases; classroom instruction; and a portable, nationally recognized credential. The U.S. Department of Labor recently updated the way we describe Registered Apprenticeship Programs to reflect the Equal Opportunity and worker safety elements embedded in those programs.
Seven Key Elements of All Registered Apprenticeship Programs
- Industry Led—Programs are industry-vetted and approved to ensure alignment with industry standards and apprentices are trained for highly skilled, high-demand occupations.
- Paid Job—Apprenticeships are jobs! Apprentices earn progressive wage increases as their skills and productivity increase.
- Structured On-the-Job Learning/Mentorship—Programs provide structured on-the-job training to prepare for a successful career, which includes instruction from an experienced mentor.
- Supplemental Education—Apprentices are provided supplemental classroom education based on the employers' unique training needs to ensure quality and success.
- Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) - Programs are designed to reflect the communities in which they operate through strong non-discrimination, anti-harassment, and inclusive recruitment practices.
- Quality & Safety—Apprentices are afforded worker protections while receiving rigorous training to equip them with the skills they need to succeed and the proper training and supervision they need to be safe.
- Credentials—Apprentices earn a portable, nationally-recognized credential within their industry.
