Current Narrative:

Over the period covered by this plan, the Department plans the following activities, which are aimed at 1) increasing the use of Registered Apprenticeship as a training model in the state and 2) integrating Registered Apprenticeship as a core element of Vermont’s Workforce Development Strategies.  These activities include, but are not limited to:

Increase Apprenticeship Literacy

  1. Regular training with VDOL Job Center Specialists on how best to support job seekers looking to be apprentices, including resources to support the apprentice;
  2. Regular training and challenges for the VDOL Business Services team on how to conduct outreach to businesses and how to discuss the requirements of the program;
  3. Regular meetings and training with core partners to improve their literacy with apprenticeships.

Supports to employers

  1. Work with core partners to contribute to the design of apprenticeship programs and to provide technical assistance to employers related to services and programs available through the partners.

Funding

  1. Using available state and federal funds, develop projects and opportunities for employers and partners to work together to develop and administer a registered apprenticeship training program, including pre-apprenticeships and youth apprenticeships where appropriate.

The complete set of strategies and activities of the Registered Apprenticeship program will be outlined in a 5-year state plan for registered apprenticeship, required by state law.  The first version of this plan will be completed by July 1, 2024.
