Why Apprenticeship?2000’S FLORIDA JOB PICTURE
– 20% PROFESSIONAL– 65% TECHNICAL– 15% UNSKILLED1950’S FLORIDA JOB PICTURE
– 20% PROFESSIONAL– 20% TECHNICAL– 60% UNSKILLED
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAINAUGURAL ADDRESS TO CONGRESS – FEBRUARY 24, 2009
“It is our responsibility as lawmakers and educators to make this system work. But it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it. And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option.”

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
Converging Goals
Vision statement
“Florida will develop a globally competitive workforce”
Mission statement from Workforce Florida, Inc. 2010-2015 Strategic Plan
“Florida will develop the state’s business climate by designing and implementing strategies that help
Floridians enter, remain, and advance in the workforce, becoming more highly skilled and
successful, benefiting Florida business and the entire state.”
Converging Goals
The purpose of Registered Apprenticeship is to enable employers through On-the-Job learning and Related Instruction to increase productivity and improve the quality of the workforce. Certifications that are issued by the State Apprenticeship Agency are nationally recognized while industry can grant journeyworkers status to program completers.
Collaboration for SuccessThe Benefits and Challenges of Registered Apprenticeship: The Sponsors’ Perspective
Robert LermanLauren EysterKate Chambers
The Urban Institute March 2009Center on Labor, Human Services, and Population
Integration of Apprenticeship into the Workforce System
• Nearly 30 percent of sponsors said that they had at least one interaction with the public workforce investment system, with 17 percent reporting they used a One-Stop or Job Service to post apprenticeship openings and 16 percent reporting having applicants sent by the One-Stop or Job Service.
• Sponsors of joint programs, older programs, programs with more apprentices, and programs in the construction industry were more likely than the average sponsor to interact with the workforce investment system. Being a sponsor of a joint program and of a larger apprenticeship program increased the likelihood of some interaction with the workforce system by 13 percent and 20 percent, respectively.
