This module covers the labor standards for the registration of apprenticeship programs as outlined in 29 C.F.R. Part 29.5. It explains the Apprenticeship Standards outlined in the federal regulations and identifies resources that are available to help develop Registered Apprenticeship Standards.

This module identifies and defines the three training approaches to Registered Apprenticeships and elaborates on how occupations and time frames are selected for registered apprenticeships. It also explores examples of Registered Apprenticeship programs and the impacts on business.

This microlearning introduces the Davis-Bacon Act and the impact of its standards on registered apprenticeship programs. Designed to be completed in 15-20 minutes, the training aims to clarify what is required to uphold Davis-Bacon standards in registered apprenticeship programs. The module includes relevant scenarios and guidance for working with partners to implement standards.

WIOA-funded service providers should not be hesitant about supporting longer-term Registered Apprenticeship programs due to perceptions of negative outcomes associated with the WIOA Credential Attainment Rate (CAR). This short presentation addresses interim credentials and industry-recognized credentials that count positively towards the CAR.

This module offers an overview for SAAs regarding their responsibilities in ensuring reciprocity for apprentices, apprenticeship programs, and standards registered in other states by the OA or a Registration Agency. The presentation provides background information on the concept of reciprocity, details on its implementation through a "petition for reciprocity," and illustrates how reciprocity operates within the Louisiana (LA) SAA, as an example.
