The Benefits and Challenges of Registered Apprenticeship: The Sponsors’ Perspective
This is a study ETA commissioned by Robert Lerman of the Urban Institute and American University, “The Benefits and Challenges of Registered Apprenticeship: The Sponsors’ Perspective.” Findings show that 97 percent of Registered Apprenticeship sponsors—employers and labor-management programs alike—are highly satisfied with the model and would recommend it to other businesses. More than 80 percent of sponsors say that they use Registered Apprenticeship to meet their need for skilled workers. Another 72 percent say that Registered Apprenticeship helps them show which workers have needed skills; and 68 percent feel that the model raises productivity, strengthens worker morale and pride and improves worker safety. Few other publicly funded workforce programs have this level of satisfaction from employers and labor-management partnerships.

Pre-Apprenticeship Programs: Results from a National Survey
The Aspen Institute's Workforce Strategies Initiative recently conducted a nationwide census project aimed at pre-apprenticeship programs in the construction trades. Funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the survey explored the number, geographic location, and scope of construction pre-apprenticeship programs. The survey generated responses from 260 pre-apprenticeship program leaders from across the United States. The research paper describing the results of the survey covers topics such as program size, organizational types and affiliations, the range of services provided, the current challenges programs face and the demographic groups the programs serve. To build on this work, WSI has received a grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation to interview a select group of leaders from some of the nation's most successful pre-apprenticeship programs. The results of these interviews will provide a more in-depth analysis of successful program models and promising practices in pre-apprenticeship programs. In conjunction with the results from the survey, the interview results ultimately will provide decision-makers and stakeholders with a picture of several different approaches to pre-apprenticeship programs and strategies across the U.S. To learn more about WSI's research on construction pre-apprenticeship programs, download the report.

Apprenticeship Programs Partner with English as a Second Language Programs
Integrated English as a Second Language and Apprenticeship Program (Pierce County) United Union of Roofers, Local 153, Clover Park Technical College and Pierce College pooled their resources and expertise to help Spanish-speaking apprentices overcome language barriers to completing the roofer apprenticeship program. The collaboration created an instructional program that integrated technical and language skills, making them more relevant and easier to learn. At one time, most non-English speaking apprentices did not complete roofing apprenticeship training. Today, with a retention rate of 100 percent, this program is a model for similar programs around the state.
