Increased engagement between Registered Apprenticeship and WIOA Title I and Title II programs and a deeper collaboration between these two complementary systems can contribute to the expansion of Registered Apprenticeship. Two recent surveys of workforce development and adult education providers conducted by the U.S. DOL Registered Apprenticeship Technical Assistance Center of Excellence on Strategic Partnerships and System Alignment indicate that, while capacity exists among WIOA service providers to design and deliver pre-apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship programs, much more can be done to leverage these programs’ respective strengths for greater impact. This report provides a summary of the findings of these surveys and discusses opportunities for deepening the engagement of, and collaboration among, WIOA Title I and Title II service providers in supporting pre-apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship programs.
