Federally Registered Apprenticeships
The Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship, located within the Department of Workforce Development and part of Gov. Holcomb’s NextLevel Agenda, serves to develop and implement a framework of various work-based learning pathways for both youth and adult populations.
To accomplish this, the office will concentrate on three objectives: First, coordinate efforts and partner with the U.S. Department of Labor to expand registered apprenticeships. Second, develop flexible and scalable programs that focus on the state’s key economic sectors and regional high-wage, high-demand occupations. Third, build public-private partnerships to increase business and industry engagement with education systems.

Registered Apprenticeship for Students and Families
The ultimate role of education in America is to prepare students for a lifelong career that leads to self fulfillment and prosperity. Engaging students into Work-Based Learning programs throughout their educational journey has staggering outcomes for students:
- Students connect what they are learning in the classroom to the education and skills required for success in today’s workplace.
- Students explore and learn about various fields and careers so they can make more informed decisions about their goals in life and the education they need to reach those goals.
- Students become more motivated to do well in school and pursue postsecondary education.
- Students gain an understanding of workplace norms, including the “soft skills” that can influence career success.
- Students in career preparation programs (such as internships) gain valuable work experience that can launch their careers.
- Students have opportunities to interact with and learn from an expanded circle of adults and potential mentors.
