What is Apprenticeship? • STRUCTURED TRAINING PROGRAM GOVERNED BY REGISTERED STANDARDS • COMBINES ON THE JOB TRAINING [2,000 HOURS PER YEAR] AND RELATED TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION [144 HOURS PER YEAR] • HIGH TECH, HIGH SKILL, HIGH WAGE • INDUSTRY DRIVEN • VOLUNTARY
Apprenticeship is…Florida’s Most Effective WorkforceEducation Program • OPPAGA(Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability) http://www.oppaga.state.fl.us/Reports/pdf/0236rpt.pdf • CEPRI(Council for Education Policy Research and Improvement) According to studies performed by these independent agencies:
Mathematica Study • USDOL sought to replicate research conducted in WA State • Two primary research questions • Was RA effective in increasing the annual earnings of people who participated? • Do the total social benefits of RA outweigh the total social costs? • Examined RA in 10 states chosen to vary in program and labor market features for which data was available • Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas
Average Gains Received by Apprentices Source: RAPIDS and UI wage records
Summary of Findings • RA participation and completion was associated with significantly higher compensation over the course of an apprentice's career - approximately $124,000 for all participants • over $300,000for participants who completed their program (factoring in benefits) • Social benefits outweigh social costs by $49,000 or more

It’s a Problem… • TOO MANY PEOPLE ENTER APPRENTICESHIP 10 YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL • TOO MANY ADULTS (FAMILY MEMBERS AND PROFESSIONALS) FOSTER A NEGATIVE IMPRESSION OF THE TRADES • TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE BUY INTO THAT PREJUDICE AND LOOK DOWN ON PHYSICAL WORK • TOO MANY WORKERS ARE GETTING TOO OLD TO CONTINUE TO DO THE JOBS THAT ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE COUNTRY RUNNING • ECONOMIC RECOVERY WILL REQUIRE MORE APPRENTICES IN BOTH TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING OCCUPATIONS
How Apprenticeship Can Impact the Publicly Funded Workforce System ADULT MEASURES • ENTERED EMPLOYMENT • EMPLOYMENT RETENTION • AVERAGE EARNINGS YOUTH MEASURES • PLACED IN EMPLOYMENT OR EDUCATION • ATTAINED DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE • LITERACY AND NUMERACY GAINS
