b. 2. Describe How the State Will Incorporate Registered Apprenticeship into Its Strategy and Services.
Current Narrative:
Colorado recognizes that Registered Apprenticeships (RAs) are an important component of potential training and employment services that the workforce system can provide to its customers. Local service providers will be expected to utilize RA as a career pathway for job seekers and as a job–driven strategy for employers and industries. Regional and local plans will address the inclusion of RAs in sector strategies and ensure that RAs are an integral part of the work based learning options that WIOA customers may access. The state will provide training, technical assistance and access to USDOL’s RA resources to encourage and foster the use of existing programs, as well as the development of new RAs. Local workforce boards will be expected to develop local policies and procedures to implement RAs, which may include the use of pre–apprenticeships, Individual Training Accounts and On–the–Job Training awards to customers who wish to start an apprenticeship or complete an apprenticeship in progress.
