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.

We have separated the apprentices by apprenticeship status:
- New Apprentices: New apprentices are those who began an apprenticeship during the selected time period.
- Active Apprentices: Active apprentices were participating in an apprenticeship during the selected time period.
- Completer Apprentices: Completers are those who completed an apprenticeship during the selected time period.
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.). To strengthen data quality, a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour and maximum wage of $150 an hour has been implemented. Wages below $7.25 an hour or above $150 an hour are excluded from the calculation. 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.

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

The map includes State Data from the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Database System (RAPIDS) and data uploaded by State Apprenticeship Agencies (SAA) states. Data is available at the national, state, and county level.
The data in the map is refreshed quarterly.
The Office of Apprenticeship has access to individual level data from the 43 states that used the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Management Data System (RAPIDS) for case management. The remaining 10 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 all states and USMAP.
