Recognized Apprenticeship Preparation Programs

Registered apprenticeship is a time tested “earn-and-learn” workforce development model that provides family-supporting wages to apprentices in existing, new and high-demand industries throughout Minnesota resulting in highly skilled workers. The purpose of a Recognized Apprenticeship Preparation Program is to prepare individuals to gain the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to enter a registered apprenticeship program (RAP) and succeed. Apprenticeship Minnesota has created a process to recognize programs that ensures participants receive consistent and quality training needed to succeed in registered apprenticeship programs while meeting employer and industry needs.
