Registered Apprenticeship Occupations and Standards Center of Excellence

About

Through the Registered Apprenticeship Occupations and Standards Center of Excellence, the Urban Institute will build a “gold standard” infrastructure of occupational skills for registered apprenticeship programs, helping accelerate the expansion of such programs throughout the US. The center will work with stakeholder partners and coalitions to document occupations and their on-the-job competencies for apprenticeships across a wide array of industries.

Urban’s vision for the Registered Apprenticeship Occupations and Standards Center of Excellence is to build a gold-standard occupational skills infrastructure that increases the transparency, portability, quality, usability, and scalability of the US apprenticeship system. Over the four-year project from June 2021 to June 2025, our team will deliver more than 80 new apprenticeship standards, create a comprehensive and modernized online compendium of standards, institutionalize best practices, and promote methodologies to ensure a sustainable, high-quality registered apprenticeship system.

To achieve these goals, the project team will build new apprenticeship efforts and leverage existing ones, coordinate with partners and stakeholders, update technological tools and resources, and address changing industry and other stakeholder needs to better support businesses and the workforce.
