Apprentices and Participation Trends
- In 2003, 133,909 individuals entered the apprenticeship system.
- Nationwide, there are 480,000 apprentices currently obtaining the skills
they need to succeed while earning the wages they need to build financial security.
- In 2003, 28,768 graduated from the apprenticeship system.
Apprenticeship Sponsors and Trends
- There are currently 29,326 apprenticeship programs across the nation.
- In 2003, 1,790 new apprenticeship programs were established nationwide.
Building on the foundation set by traditional partner industries such as
Construction and Manufacturing, 359 of these programs were in new and merging partner industries.
Public-Private Investment and Partnerships
- The federal government invests $21 million annually in the apprenticeship system.
- Apprenticeship sponsors pay most of the training costs. Apprentices' wages increase
as their skill and productivity levels increase.
- The Construction industry contributes an estimated $250 million annually to support apprenticeship in the industry.
- In recent years, apprenticeship partnerships have been formed with branches of the U.S. military.
- Currently, there are hundreds of academic partnerships with 2- and 4-year colleges that offer
Associate and Bachelor's degrees in conjunction with apprenticeship certificates.
Operation
- Apprenticeship programs are operated by both the public and private sectors. Apprenticeship sponsors,
who are employers, employer associations, and labor-management organizations, register programs with federal
and state government agencies. Sponsors provide on-the-job learning and academic instruction to apprentices
according to their industry standards and licensing requirements.
Program Dividends
Because apprentices pay income taxes on their wages, it is estimated that every
dollar the federal government invests in apprenticeship yields more than $50 in revenues.
