Our Mission
Building scalable, sustainable partnerships to accelerate Registered Apprenticeship (RA) adoption and improve alignment with our nation’s workforce and education systems.
National Assistance
Across key RA topics including pre-apprenticeship and RA program development, WIOA co-enrollment, employer engagement, partnership strategies, career pathway development, integrated service delivery and more.
Engaging Key Stakeholders
Including federal agencies, economic development organizations, business, organized labor, industry associations, state and local workforce boards and secondary and post-secondary education to develop effective partnerships around RA and inform state and federal RA policy.
Coordinating Across Investments
With DOL and ETA’s Office of Apprenticeship as well as collaborating with State Apprenticeship Agencies (SAAs) and DOL-funded RA investments at the national and state level to serve core RA system customers effectively and efficiently.
The Center's Work
The Center was developed by the USDOL to establish, build and sustain partnerships that support alignment of industry, workforce and education to accelerate RA program adoption and expansion. This RA TA Center of Excellence will provide compliance assistance on a national scope to RA program sponsors and support state and local workforce development boards, American Job Center programs and operators, governors and other essential stakeholders that drive and inform economic and workforce development policies and programs.
