Data and Statistics

DISCLAIMER

This is a Beta site showing geographic apprenticeship data within each particular state. Please refer to individual State Apprenticeship Agencies for their most recent statistics.

This page provides key statistics on apprentices by fiscal year (FY) (October through September). It includes all program types published on our legacy data and statistics page. Currently, the page includes data through 3/8/2023.

Note: We will update data and add new features quarterly. If you have any questions or concerns, please email apprenticeship-public-data@dol.gov.

Interactive Apprenticeship Data

This includes state and national program data entered or uploaded into the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Database System (RAPIDS). It does not include data from states that do not report in that system, including Minnesota, Washington State and Washington, DC.

Display Apprentices by:

State Workload: View apprentice counts by state-managed apprenticeship workload totals. The state total may include apprentices or programs physically located outside of the state that manages them. This option goes to the state-level but does not drill down to the county-level.
Program Location: View apprentice counts down to the county-level based on the physical program location. The state total will only include programs physically located in the state.
Apprentice Location*: View apprentice counts by where they live, down to the county-level. The state total will only include apprentices physically located in the state.
- *States that upload their data in lieu of using the federal reporting system (RAPIDS) do not provide apprentice location. The “Not Specified” county within a state includes apprentices reported by the state without their physical address data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there anything individual states would like us to know about their data?

States overseeing Registered Apprenticeship programs have the opportunity to provide notes on their data in the table below. If you are a State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) lead and would like to add a note for your state, please email apprenticeship-public-data@dol.gov.

State	Note
Connecticut	The Connecticut Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship Training does not utilize RAPIDS at this time. Required data will be reported by CTDOL/OAT to USDOL in the next quarter for Connecticut Registered Apprenticeship programs and apprentices registered in those programs. The CTDOL/OAT does not currently collect data on individuals with disabilities. Other categories reported for the veteran status, industry, occupation, and union data elements may not be an accurate representation of Connecticut's current data. Please contact the CTDOL/OAT for further assistance.
Delaware	State of Delaware Registered Apprenticeship data prior to 2021 (Legacy) is unavailable at this time. Statistics based on legacy data are available by contacting the Delaware Department Of Labor.
Maryland	The Maryland Department of Labor's Division of Workforce Development and Adult Learning (DWDAL) does not utilize RAPIDS at this time. Required data will be reported by DWDAL to USDOL in the next quarter for Maryland Registered Apprenticeship programs and apprentices registered in those programs. The DWDAL does not currently collect data on individuals with disabilities. The DWDAL has official data, including the most comprehensive data on veteran status, industry, occupation, and union data elements for Maryland. Please contact the Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Program by email at info@mdapprenticeship.com or by phone at 410-767-2246 with questions.
New York	New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) does not utilize RAPIDS at this time; data is reported by NYSDOL to USDOL at a point in time for NYS Registered Apprenticeship programs and apprentices registered in those programs. Depending on when the data is collected and reported, it may not be equivalent to the data reported on NYSDOL’s website. NYSDOL does not currently collect data on individuals with disabilities or apprentice education level; and the categories reported for the veteran status, industry, occupation, and union data elements may not be an accurate representation of NYS’s data.
Pennsylvania	For the most up to date resources, information, and statistics on apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship in Pennsylvania or if you wish to get started building a program, you may reach out to the Pennsylvania Apprenticeship and Training Office (ATO) by email at apprenticeship@pa.gov.

We have separated the apprentices by apprenticeship status:
- New Apprentices: New apprentices are those who began an apprenticeship.
- Active Apprentices: Active apprentices were/are currently participating in an apprenticeship.
- Completer Apprentices: Completers are those who have completed an apprenticeship.
To view average wage information, hover over any bar in a bar chart or a state in the Continental USA map. A pop up will appear with the information. Wages reflect the average of the wages for the specific filters selected (i.e., race, gender, ethnicity, industry, occupation, state, county, etc.) using appropriate data quality rules. Active and New apprentice wages are calculated using the starting wage, or wage when an apprentice begins an apprenticeship. Completer apprentice wages are calculated using exit wage, or wage when an apprentice completes an apprenticeship.
To select multiple states in the continental United States, hover over the map and hold down the Control [Ctrl] button on your keyboard. While holding the Control [Ctrl] button, click on the states you would like to view. The State & County list will filter on those states. The rest of the dashboard will also update to filter on only information from the selected states. You can also select multiple states in the State & County list by holding down the Control [Ctrl] button and clicking on multiple bars and/or state names in the state list. Follow the same process to select multiple counties. The rest of the dashboard will update to filter on only information from the selected states or counties.

What data sources populate this map?

The map includes State Data from the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Database System (RAPIDS) and data uploaded by State Apprenticeship Agencies (SAA) states, except Minnesota, Washington State, and District of Columbia. Data is available at the national, state, and county level.

Data Sources for FY22	Active Apprentices	New Apprentices	Total Completers
State Data (RAPIDS)	437,262	180,979	67,445
State Data (Non-RAPIDS)	39,015	3,156	977

Total	610,525	257,834	92,305

FY21 and FY22 marked major achievements in the Office of Apprenticeship’s data modernization effort. Previously, the Office of Apprenticeship only had access to individual level data from the 41 states that used the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Management Data System (RAPIDS) for case management. The remaining 12 states and territories were State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) states that chose to manage their own statewide registered apprenticeships and use their own performance system. While those states were still required to submit quarterly data to the Office of Apprenticeship, it was aggregate level data which did not include demographics, industries, occupations, and other useful information. The Office of Apprenticeship also only received aggregate level apprenticeship data from the Department of Defense for the United Services Military Apprenticeship Program (USMAP), the largest Registered Apprenticeship program with over 100,000 active-duty service members.
To have a complete and accurate picture of the entire National Registered Apprenticeship System, the Office of Apprenticeship created a SAA data portal that allowed the remaining SAA states to quickly and easily transfer non-PII, individual level data into RAPIDS, including demographic data. Due to the success of the SAA portal, OA data cleanup efforts, and robust technical assistance with the states, RAPIDS now captures individual record data from 48 states and USMAP. The Office of Apprenticeship is working with the three remaining states and territories (Minnesota, Washington State, and the District of Columbia) with the goal to have all national individual level apprenticeship data during FY23.
