Competency-Based Occupational Frameworks for Registered Apprenticeships
Description
With funding from the US Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship, the Urban Institute is building national frameworks for registered apprenticeships in a wide array of occupations. The frameworks are drafted in cooperation with employers, educators, and other workforce and training experts. Employers and others can use the frameworks to fast-track the development of their own registered apprenticeships, with assurance that they are well researched and consistent across national programs. The frameworks are competency based rather than time based, meaning that abilities are more important than the number of hours spent working on tasks.
