Summary:

America's continued economic well-being depends on how well it manages its human resources. Changing demographics, combined with the increasing complexity of work, have made training and retraining U.S. workers a critical issue. Apprenticeship training involves learning by doing under the auspices of a mentor or master craft worker. While the U.S. apprenticeship system has a good reputation for training skilled workers, its application has not extended much beyond traditional areas like construction and manufacturing. This report determines (1) the use of apprenticeship to train workers, (2) federal and state resources dedicated to administering apprenticeship, and (3) the representation of minorities and women in apprenticeship.
