Registered Apprenticeship (RA) is an evidence-based postsecondary education option that combines On-The-Job Training (OJT) with related instruction, allowing workers to learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a skilled occupation while earning a good wage. Apprentices gain hands-on learning experiences and receive immediate employment opportunities that offer career advancement. Upon graduation, apprentices earn credentials that are nationally-recognized and training that may be applied toward future education endeavors. Employers drive this model, which incorporates industry input into the development of training standards that can be customized by participating businesses. Employers gain a skilled workforce through a program that is tailored to their unique needs, standards, and goals.
