Apprenticeships Now: Trends, Investments, and Opportunities Nationally and in Washington

Research Brief

Registered Apprenticeships use an “earn while you learn” approach to help learners gain credentials and skills in their chosen occupation while getting paid. Since 2015, the number of apprentices has grown more than 70% both nationally and in Washington. This trend is mirrored in the increased number of policies and financial investments toward apprenticeships, both federally and in Washington. Federally, these investments aim to expand Registered Apprenticeship programs and ensure they are responsive to the skills that are most in-demand in today’s workforce.

In Washington, the investments have also focused on expanding apprenticeships and reducing barriers by providing financial aid. These investments include establishing five programs that the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) administers.
