What is a Registered Apprenticeship?

Registered Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience and receive progressive wage increases, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential. Registered Apprenticeships are industry-vetted, approved, and validated by the U.S. Department of Labor or a State Apprenticeship Agency. Registered Apprenticeship Programs help BOTH employers and career seekers. These programs offer apprentices the opportunity to: 

  • Develop competitive skills that set you apart in the job market 
  • Flexible training options and a nationally recognized credential 
  • Demonstrate investment in your community 
  • Earn a paycheck while gaining valuable industry experience 
  • Enjoy regular pay increase as your skills and expertise grow 

How can Registered Apprenticeships help companies?

Registered Apprenticeships are a proven and industry-driven training model that can provide a critical talent pipeline for healthcare organizations. Organizations that hire healthcare employees realize several benefits from the Registered Apprenticeship program. Through Registered Apprenticeship, employers will: 

  • Grow their own healthcare workforce pipeline 
  • Vet workers and instill the company culture 
  • Recruit and develop a highly skilled workforce
  • Reduce turnover, improve loyalty, and retain top talent 
  • Upskill incumbent workers in advanced occupations, which are also high-paying 
  • Demonstrate investment in the community 
  • Improve productivity, profitability, and your bottom line
