Newer apprenticeship programs in several high-demand health care occupations also appear promising for expansion. Gains could also be made by strengthening connections between youth and registered apprenticeship pathways and by expanding pre-apprenticeship training programs, which introduce workers to the skilled trades and connect them to employers.  \nThe number of Wisconsinites employed as  \napprentices has grown considerably over the last decade and reached a record high in 2024, according to data from the state’s Department of Workforce Development. That year, 17,509 individuals participated in Wisconsin’s Registered Apprenticeship Program, which was more than 77% higher than in 2013 (Figure 1) .  \nThis is welcome news at a time when employers in the state continue to report struggles to find needed workers in many occupations. That is the case not only in the construction and manufacturing industries but also healthcare, education, agriculture, and more. In many cases, this problem is intensifying as baby boomers retire and fewer young people are available to replace them. It is critical, therefore, to ask whether our current landscape of registered apprenticeshipsand related programs such as the state’s Youth  \nApprenticeship and Certified Pre-Apprenticeship programs is reaching its full potential to train future workers.  \nApprenticeships play a critical role in developing workers for careers in skilled trades. Usually lasting between one and five years (depending on the trade), registered apprenticeships involve paid, on-the-job training coupled with classroom instruction often provided at a technical college and also paid for by the employer. Once a worker completes an apprenticeship – and passes a licensure exam in occupations that require a license – they achieve journey worker status and are able to earn higher wages.  \nWRTP| BIG STEP’s Apprenticeship Pathway Initiative This is the first in a series of reports we will produce in the coming years on apprenticeship pathways in Wisconsin in support of an initiative led by WRTP| BIG STEP, a Milwaukeebased, nonprofit workforce development organization. That initiative, and our associated research, is supported by a  \ngenerous grant from the Madison-based Ascendium Education  \nGroup. Financial support for our work was also provided by Gilbane.  \nUpcoming research in this series will include analysis of potential opportunities to expand apprenticeship readiness programming in the state both geographically and across sectors and occupations. We also plan to gather and share employer input on how to strengthen apprenticeship readiness in Wisconsin.  \nBest known for their role in the construction industry, registered apprenticeships are available in Wisconsin in about 200 occupations across many industries. To helpmeet industry demand, additional programs are created regularly for occupations that the state deems“apprenticeable,” meaning they are typically learned onthe-job but require complementary instruction.  \nWhile apprenticeships are considered entry-level jobs, hiring an apprentice requires a significant investment by an employer, so workers typically need some related knowledge and experience to secure a position. Often this means working directly for the employer as a general laborer for some time before being brought on as an apprentice. As previously noted, the state of Wisconsin also administers programs that certify and monitor “pre-apprenticeship” training programs and youth apprenticeships, which can provide bridges to employment, including to registered apprenticeships.  \nIn this brief, we examine Wisconsin’s Registered Apprenticeship, Certified Pre-Apprenticeship, and Youth Apprenticeship training landscape, explaining ho","cbCaig5g4Bavr6Xh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig5g4Bavr6Xh","pdf",652110,10,"English","# Apprenticeship Program Growth in Wisconsin\n## Record participation and key statistics\n## Industry demand and workforce shortages\n# How Apprenticeships Work\n## Training length and employer investment\n## Journey worker status and licensure\n# Program Connections and Models\n## Youth apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship pathways\n## Apprenticeship models by industry and unions\n# Wisconsin’s Leadership and Impact\n## Early apprenticeship law and national ranking\n## Active apprentices per 1,000 residents\n# Research Approach and Upcoming Work\n## Data sources and interview insights\n## Opportunities to expand readiness programming","[{\"question\":\"为什么威斯康星州的学徒制在当前劳动力紧张背景下受到关注？\",\"answer\":\"多个行业持续报告难以招到所需工人，且这种压力随婴儿潮一代退休而可能加剧。因而需要评估学徒制及相关项目是否具备充分能力来培养未来劳动力。\"},{\"question\":\"学徒制通常如何运作，完成后会带来什么结果？\",\"answer\":\"学徒制一般持续一到五年，包含带薪的岗位训练并配合由技术学院等提供的课堂教学。完成学徒并通过需要执照的职业相关考试后，学员可获得“journey worker”身份并获得更高工资。\"},{\"question\":\"威斯康星州的学徒制与青年学徒及预学徒项目之间如何衔接？\",\"answer\":\"威斯康星州管理“pre-apprenticeship”培训与青年学徒项目，可作为就业桥梁并进一步连接到注册学徒制。该体系也通过不同产业与是否与工会相关的模式来组织学徒岗位。\"}]","mastering Apprenticeships - Wisconsin’s efforts to prepare skilled workers | PDF",1792063266,25,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":100},[101,105,109,113,118,123,128,131,136,139,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":86,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":129,"slug":130},30,"research-report",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":134,"slug":135},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":134,"slug":138},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":92,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":141},"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
