Build Your Workforce With Registered Apprenticeships

Registered Apprenticeships for Employers

Launch a Registered Apprenticeship Program to train talent to your standards, reduce turnover, and build a reliable pipeline of skilled workers. 

What is a Registered Apprenticeship Program?

A Registered Apprenticeship Program is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway that allows employers to develop and prepare their future workforce while participants gain skills, mentorship, progressive wage increases, related classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential.  In Florida, Registered Apprenticeship Programs are validated and approved by the State Apprenticeship Agency, the Florida Department of Education, ensuring quality and consistency.

Key elements of all Registered Apprenticeship Programs include:

  • Industry Led - Programs are industry-vetted and approved to ensure alignment with industry standards and prepare apprentices for high-skill, high-demand occupations. 
  • Paid Job -  Apprentices are employees. Apprentices earn progressive wages as their skills and productivity increase.
  • Structured Work-Based Learning/Mentorship - Programs provide structured, work-based training that includes guidance from an experienced mentor.
  • Supplemental Education - Apprentices receive supplemental classroom instruction aligned with the employer’s unique training needs to support quality and success.
  • Credentials - Apprentices earn a portable, nationally-recognized credential within their industry.

Backed by state and federal workforce partners and delivered in collaboration with local businesses and training providers.
