• Description:
  For decades, registered apprenticeship programs-career pathways where construction employers prepare the industry's workers through training and paid experience--have helped produce skilled and experienced workers. Overseen by the U.S. Department of Labor or a State Apprenticeship Agency, these programs are intended to reflect the communities where they operate to ensure access, equity, and inclusion. According to the report "The State of Registered Apprenticeship Training in the Construction Trades" from the Institute for Construction Employment Research (ICERES), the number of people registering for an apprenticeship (new registrations) in a construction trade increased 17% from 2015 to 2021. This Data Bulletin provides information on apprenticeship registrations in construction from 2015 to 2021 (calendar years) as well as recent apprentice status (i.e., complete, cancellation) of those who started between 2010 and 2016. Apprenticeships were examined by program sponsor (i.e., joint, non-joint), demographics (i.e., gender, ethnicity, race, age), trade, apprentice status, and training model (i.e., time-based, hybrid, competency-based). Given the importance of recruiting, training, and retaining workers from diverse backgrounds to the industry, this Data Bulletin places special emphasis on women and Hispanic apprentices, two of the growing demographic groups in construction. The findings here build upon those in the ICERES report. Data are from (1) the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration's Complete Data Extract through the second quarter of Fiscal year 2022, (2) the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries' L&I Apprenticeship Apprentice Details, and (3) the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. Due to rounding or reasons specified in chart footnotes, totals may not align with apprenticeship totals in chart 1 and percentages may not sum to 100%. States represented in each chart vary based on data availability and are listed in Chart Notes. [Description provided by NIOSH]
