Registered Apprenticeship

A Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) is a proven model of apprenticeship that has been validated by the Department of Labor or State Apprenticeship Agency.

Any employer, association, committee, or organization that operates a Registered Apprenticeship Program. Sponsors design and execute apprenticeship programs, provide jobs to apprentices, oversee training development, and provide hands-on learning.

Administering and maintaining a Registered Apprenticeship Program is the responsibility of the sponsor. However, there may be workforce development funds and other support available from federal, state, local and community partners.
