Registered Apprenticeships

Registered Apprenticeships (RA) are a career development pathway that empowers employers to develop their desired skills and competencies in future employees while providing individuals with high-quality, paid, on-the-job learning (OJL) opportunities with businesses looking to hire. This proven training model matches workforce needs with job seekers to create robust opportunities for durable employment. RA programs are vetted by industry stakeholders and validated by the U.S. Department of Labor or a State Apprenticeship Agency in the form of an official registry. In the U.S., RA programs have been most widely adopted in the skilled trades, while in Europe and elsewhere, they are common in a wide range of sectors. The federal administration and State of Hawaii have identified the expansion of RA programs as a priority.

RA programs are distinct from internships, which are typically short-term work-based learning opportunities that may be paid or unpaid and do not follow a universal regulatory code. Different internship models vary in length, quality, and outcomes, and their definitions of success is largely subjective to the program, intern, and hosting workplace.

Registered Apprenticeships are paid positions that consist of a structured training plan with both hands-on training and supporting education instruction that apprentices complete to build both skills and foundational knowledge. Apprentices also have a designated mentor and receive a nationally recognized, portable credential upon program completion. RA is clear on its intended result with a defined pathway to success that is implemented through a code of regulations. RA programs are a minimum of one year and can be as long as four years depending on the occupation. A longer training period allows for in-depth instruction and gives the company an opportunity to invest in someone they want to retain as a permanent employee. Every apprentice that goes through and completes an RA program learns and subsequently masters the defined competencies to become fully proficient in the program occupation. An RA program provides employers a talent pipeline with a standardized skill set that is backed up by statistics showing a positive return on investment and a tangible reduction in turnover.

While Registered Apprenticeship can be customized to meet the unique needs of each organization, there are five core components of RA programs:

Multiple stakeholders support RA programs. The sponsor is an organization that agrees to operate an apprenticeship program and in whose name the program is registered. The employer hires and provides paid on-the-job learning for apprentices under supervision of a designated mentor who is a skilled professional in that occupation. A related instruction provider is an entity that provides instruction to apprentices in the designated occupation’s core knowledge, skills, and abilities. Finally, partner organizations are committed to assisting RA programs and sometimes play more than one role when facilitating.

The benefits of Registered Apprenticeships extend to both employers and students:
