How do employers become apprenticeship sponsors/employers?• Visit www.fldoe.org/academics/career-adult-edu/apprenticeship-programs/ for

a complete listing of participating employers

• Florida employers interested in sponsoring an apprenticeship program should contact the Apprenticeship Section within the Division of Career and Adult Education.

• Will provide information about new and existing programs throughout the state.

• Employers can participate in an existing program or can work with apprenticeship training representatives to develop a new program.

• Sponsors of new programs define their own training standards with the assistance of experienced apprenticeship training representatives who monitor and coordinate the development and implementation of registered programs.

• Two additional points: a) employers are deliberately contributing to the professional development, b) each makes an investment

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act• Reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act, signed by

the President on July 22, 2014• The law reinforces connections with Registered

Apprenticeship (RA)• Integrating RA programs into workforce planning and

policy• Promoting work-based learning and using WIOA

resources to support RA• Creating new RA opportunities through focus on services

to employers• Supporting career pathways for youth through RA• Recognizing RA in WIOA performance measures


www.FLDOE.org


Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act• Specifically, this will mean that:

• RA programs are included on the eligible training provider list for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs as long as they remain registered, providing access to high-quality training.

• State and local boards will have representatives of RA programs as members, ensuring that a key employer voice contributes to strategic planning activities for the workforce system.

• RA completion certificates will be recognized as a post-secondary credential, providing job seekers with flexibility.

• The Youth program may offer pre-apprenticeship training to prepare youth for RA or other career opportunities.
