The Problem
The administrative complexity of Registered Apprenticeship Programs prevents many organizations from launching them and receiving government-funded economic benefits that include wage reimbursement and tax incentives.
For those that have, administration is unnecessarily cumbersome including keeping paperwork up-to-date and filings on-time.
Add Headcount?
Hiring or Assigning Apprenticeship Admin Work to Existing Employees Is Really Expensive
If your team is frustrated due to lack of clarity and no system to follow, don’t put even more cooks in the kitchen.
Rely on a Sponsor?
The Level of Complexity Is Just as High for 3rd Parties but With Less Visibility & Ability to Communicate
If your internal team can’t keep up with compliance, don’t expect an external team to provide the structure you need.
