WELCOME TO THE
CENTER OF EXCELLENCE

Registered apprenticeship is the proven gold standard in workforce development. Better aligning industry, workforce and education around apprenticeship can help build a stronger, more resilient, and future-ready American workforce.

The Registered Apprenticeship Technical Assistance Center of Excellence is focused on helping key stakeholders across these three systems build and scale strategic partnerships to put more American workers on high-quality apprenticeship career pathways.

Workforce

Apprenticeship is a high-value tool that local workforce boards can utilize to engage employers, serve job seekers, and meet critical WIOA performance metrics.

Industry

Apprenticeship is employer-driven. It is a customizable, structured, and highly-scalable strategy to build a stronger, more diverse and more loyal workforce. Learn more including why 97% of employers with registered apprenticeship programs recommend the model to others...

Education

Preparing students for the workforce and apprenticeship-based career pathways starts in school. Secondary and post-secondary education institutions can play a key role in apprenticeship through awareness building, providing required related instruction for apprentices, and even sponsoring programs.

Acting Assistant Secretary/Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Angela Hanks with the US Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, spoke at the 38th Annual Conference of the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP), recognizing the work that our front-line workforce system professionals have done to assist Americans through massive labor market changes and into a more equitable economic recovery. NAWDP is a lead national partner on the USDOL Registered Apprenticeship Technical Assistance Center of Excellence and the Assistant Secretary recognized the Center's work in advancing registered apprenticeship as part of a high-quality career pathway.
