Workforce Role of Registered Apprenticeship Provider
Educators and Trainers
“Registered Training Provider” is enhanced with a Workforce Role of “Registered Apprenticeship Provider”
The NAS - IT distribution model consists of a channel of “Consultants” comprising of professional training organizations and
community colleges. These consultants have extended their business
model and/or mission to not only educate and certify IT students, but to
program manage the skills validation component of their education in
the workplace. As program managers, they work with a NAS - IT employer,
(Sponsor) to identify the apprentice needs of the sponsor, train coaches
or mentors who validate apprentice skills, and monitor and report to
the sponsor on apprentice progress on completing a NAS - IT skills
concentration.
The deployment of this distribution model provides an “end to end”
approach to educating, delivering, and validating an individual’s value
contribution to the employer. In the model, the traditional Workforce
role of “Registered Training Provider” is enhanced with a Workforce Role
of “Registered Apprenticeship Provider” - extending the management
responsibilities of a provider to, educate and VALIDATE that education
in a job setting. This closely ties into the intent of apprenticeship
under section 122 defining providers, and section 136 outlining
performance indicators, of the WIA act.
