5 Steps to Identifying Occupations for Apprenticeship

This online self-paced course supports identification of occupations for youth and adult apprenticeship programs based on a five-step occupational selection approach. The process helps determine whether an occupation has mutual benefits for employers and the apprentice. Key learning objectives include how to identify an occupation through labor market trends and partnerships; how to use data evaluation tools to identify whether an occupation fits an identified apprenticeship program; and how to align labor market and program data with the U.S. Department of Labor’s apprenticeable occupation list. The course includes presentations from representatives from CareerWise USA and the Institute for American Apprenticeships.
