Aligning the Registered Apprenticeship and Workforce Development Systems Resource
About
This resource is designed to help state apprenticeship expansion teams and workforce system partners understand the structure of each other's work and explore strategies to strengthen alignment.
Significantly expanding the scope and scale of modern apprenticeship in the United States requires exponential growth in the number of Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) and the number of apprentices participating in them. To achieve growth of this magnitude, states need access to businesses and potential apprentices at scale, as well as federal and state funding to support business start-up of RAPs and apprentice success. The workforce development system, with its local workforce boards, American Job Centers (AJCs), and wide range of partners, offers such access and should be a key partner in every state’s apprenticeship system.
This resource will help state apprenticeship expansion teams and workforce system partners understand the structure of each other's work, consider five dimensions of system alignment, and explore strategies to strengthen alignment. The System Alignment Checklist on page 16 provides a tool to help states identify areas of strength and opportunities to better align the Registered Apprenticeship and workforce development systems.
