The 21st century economy demands a workforce with postsecondary education credentials,

needs. The public workforce system is playing a leadership role in meeting these
demands by catalyzing the implementation of innovative talent development and
lifelong learning strategies that will enable American workers to advance their
skills and remain competitive in the global economy. Registered Apprenticeship,
a critical postsecondary education, training, and employment option available
in every state in the country, is an important component of these talent development
strategies. Registered Apprenticeship is business- and industry-driven, with
more than 29,000 programs impacting 250,000 employers and almost 450,000 apprentices
—predominantly in high-growth industries that face critical skilled worker
shortages now and in the foreseeable future. Full collaboration between the
publicly funded workforce investment system and Registered Apprenticeship leverages
each system's strengths to maximize the benefits in the context of regional
talent development strategies.
