Although that mission "remains at the forefront" of the program's efforts, it "also attracts college-bound students who want to explore careers, and as jobs have grown more technical over the years, participants are increasingly pursuing more education." The program serves to place students in a wide variety of fields, particularly manufacturing-related jobs, and offers them not only work-related experience, but also an introduction to the importance of soft skills. Program graduates "earn a high school diploma, a certificate of occupational proficiency and, in some cases, credit for post-high school training programs." Robert Halpern, an author and advocate of such programs, said, "What it really does is teach kids how much people need to know, or how hard they need to work, to get good at something specific."

We do this by valuing the skills that people attain through apprenticeship and reward the attainment of those skills with the possibility of earning college credit. Together, our stakeholders developed a statewide model to award college credit for graduates of six participating registered apprenticeship programs throughout New Jersey.
