Aligning the Registered Apprenticeship and Workforce Development Systems: A Resource

This brief is designed to help state apprenticeship expansion teams and workforce system partners understand the structure of each other's work, consider five dimensions of system alignment, and explore strategies to strengthen alignment. These dimensions are strategic planning, policy, and governance; business engagement and Registered Apprenticeship Program development; apprentice recruitment and support; funding; and data and outcomes. The report also includes a System Alignment Checklist, which is a tool to help states identify areas of strength and opportunities to better align the Registered Apprenticeship and workforce development systems.
