field__item"><p>Among a plethora of workforce strategies that can play a part in developing a strong energy workforce, DOE is especially focused on creating, scaling and improving access to Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs). This emphasis is based on the proven value this type of workforce pathway can hold for workers, employers, and the competitiveness of industries critical to propelling the clean energy transition. </p><p><strong>Below are several reasons why DOE is focused on growing the availability and accessibility of Registered Apprenticeship opportunities in the energy sector.</strong> </p><h5><strong>1) More RAPs generally translate</strong><s><strong>s</strong></s><strong> to more high-quality training pathways for workers to connect to good quality careers in the energy workforce.</strong> </h5><p>Registered Apprenticeship is an “earn while you learn” pathway, where workers earn a wage from day one with wage progressions as they obtain more skills. Workers receive a combination of on-the-job and classroom training, leading to an industry-valued credential. The combination of these strategies has been shown to effectively equip people with skills to not only perform the technical tasks required of many energy jobs (e.g. electrician, line maintainer, power-line distribution erector), but also to obtain rewarding careers and to succeed in their fields. </p><p>Workers who complete RAPs earn an average of $77,000 <s> </s>in their first year on the job. This is <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/college-labor-market/college-labor-market_wages.html"><strong>higher than the average salary</strong></a> of a worker in their twenties with a college degree ($52,000), and more than double the average salary of a worker in their twenties without a college degree ($30,000). <s> </s>Over the course of their career, a worker who’s completed a RAP can earn about <a href="https://clear.dol.gov/study/effectiveness-assessment-and-cost-benefit-analysis-registered-apprenticeship-10-states-reed-et"><strong>$300,000 more in wages and benefits</strong></a>, compared to workers who have not. </p><ul><li><strong>Interested in becoming an Apprentice? Learn how to connect to a Registered Apprenticeship Program near you using this tool from the Department of Labor:</strong> <a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/apprenticeship-job-finder">Apprenticeship Finder </a> </li></ul><h5>2) <strong>RAPs are a proven way for employers to develop and retain a workforce equipped with in-demand skills.</strong> </h5><p>Registered Apprenticeship Programs benefit employers by developing and improving the retention of a skilled workforce, which boosts organizational productivity and firm-level outcomes. On average, employers realize an average <a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/research/publications/do-employers-earn-positive-returns-investments-apprenticeship">return on investment</a> of $1.47 for every $1 invested on RAPs. One <a href="https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/publications/ETAOP2022-40_AAI_Brief-Indirect_Benefits_Final_508_9-2022.pdf" target="_blank" class=" ext">survey</a> of employers that participated in apprenticeship program(s) found that nearly all of the responding firms experienced reduced turnover and improvements in their talent pipelines. </p><ul><li><strong>Are you an employer or other institution interesting in participating in or creating an apprenticeship program? Learn how to create an apprenticeship program: </strong><a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/employers/registered-apprenticeship-program/build/create"><strong>Create a Program | Apprenticeship.gov</strong></a><strong>. </strong> </li></ul><h5>3) <strong>RAPs can contribute to boosting the competitiveness of domestic industries.</strong> </h5><p>RAPs support the aim of building and retaining an energy workforce where workers have robust safety training, comprehensive skillsets, and credentials that are valued by employers across an industry. These are factors that are vital to the global competitiveness of any industry. Additionally, by being a Registered Apprenticeship P<s>p</s>rogram, the training is built on a nationally recognized framework, which helps the workers in training gain necessary skills faster than if individual employers were to pursue creating a training program that meets only their skills demands. </p><ul><li><strong>Are you an institution looking to leverage existing programs or to collaborate with other institutions to create a new program?

These involve: </li><li>Thoughtful and targeted recruitment strategies focused on outreach to one or more populations underrepresented in local, state, and national RAPs; </li><li>Educational and pre-vocational services, as well as design of instruction and training to assist underrepresented populations in overcoming barriers for entering and succeeding in RAPs; </li><li>Activities introducing participants to Registered Apprenticeship programs and assistance in applying for those programs. </li></ul><p><a href="https://www.apprenticeship.gov/employers/explore-pre-apprenticeship">Explore Pre-Apprenticeship | Apprenticeship.gov</a> </p><p>Collaboration between pre-apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship program sponsors is essential.
