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.
Code a Solution?
The Level of Complexity & Constant Evolution Make Maintaining a Custom Solution a Costly Endeavor
You won’t just need software developers, you’ll need researchers building around the clock to ensure compliance.
The Solution
GoSprout is the single easiest and most cost-effective way to develop a Registered Apprenticeship Program: become or connect with a vetted sponsor, set up and track the enrollee work and class participation, make the appropriate filings, graduate apprentices and win all the economic benefits.
With modules for every stakeholder (RTI’s, Employers, Sponsors, Journeyworkers, & Apprentices) of a successful apprenticeship program in a single cloud solution, it’s never been easier to earn the benefits you deserve.
We even added a new module so you can integrate local high schools that can offer pre-apprenticeships that feed directly into registered apprenticeships while enrolled in your college.

Frederick College – Biological Technician Registered Apprenticeship Program
Industry: Education & Biotechnology
Company Profile:
Frederick College, a prominent educational institution in Maryland, has been a beacon of innovation and excellence in integrating real-world skills with academic learning. The college serves a diverse student body and is committed to providing tailored career pathways in emerging and critical industries.
Frederick College faced several challenges in scaling their Biological Technician Registered Apprenticeship Program. These included efficiently managing a growing number of applicants, effectively engaging with multiple employers, and maintaining rigorous compliance with industry and educational standards. The complexity of coordinating these elements often led to administrative bottlenecks and limited the program’s reach and impact.
The primary challenge was the intricate balance required between managing increasing applicant numbers, satisfying multiple employer expectations, and adhering to strict compliance regulations. Traditional methods were proving inefficient and were unable to scale with the program’s growth ambitions.
Carla Milan implemented GoSprout with the objective of overcoming these operational hurdles. The adoption process involved initial setup and migration of existing data into GoSprout’s system, followed by training for staff on the new tools. Integration with existing college systems was prioritized to ensure a seamless workflow.
Regular feedback loops were established between Carla, her team, and GoSprout’s support specialists to continuously refine the process. This collaborative approach not only solved immediate problems but also adapted the program’s infrastructure to be more resilient and responsive to future challenges. Employers were given access to a portal where they could communicate directly with the college, view candidate progress, and input on curriculum relevance, greatly enhancing their active involvement and investment in the program’s success.
- Applicant Organization: GoSprout’s streamlined platform enabled Carla Milan, the Apprenticeship Coordinator, to efficiently sort, track, and manage applications, ensuring a smooth enrollment process.
- Employer Engagement: The platform facilitated robust communication tools and engagement strategies that enhanced partnerships with biotech companies.
- Compliance Management: Automated compliance tracking and reporting tools ensured that all program aspects met regulatory standards without manual oversight, reducing errors and administrative strain.
- Increased Enrollment: Simplified application processes led to a 20% increase in program enrollment within the first year.
- Enhanced Employer Satisfaction: Improved communication and engagement tools boosted employer participation by 30%.
- Streamlined Compliance: The automated system reduced compliance-related workload by 40%, allowing staff to focus more on student and program development.
Love for GoSprout:
GoSprout has revolutionized how we manage our apprenticeship programs. It has not only simplified our administrative processes but also enriched our engagement with both students and employers, fostering a thriving ecosystem for our apprentices.
Better Youth – Empowering System-Impacted Youth Through Media Arts Apprenticeships
Industry: Nonprofit / Media Arts & Education
Company Profile:
Better Youth is a dynamic nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, dedicated to providing access, equity, and validation for foster and system-impacted youth creatives aged 16-24. Through innovative media arts programming and mentoring, Better Youth helps bridge the digital divide and fosters creative confidence in young people.
Better Youth faced the complex task of managing extensive pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs in digital storytelling, which includes project management, game design, and fine arts. They needed a robust system to streamline program management and enhance the apprenticeship experience for both coordinators and participants.
Implementing a digital solution that could handle multiple apprenticeship tracks and accommodate the specific needs of a youth-centered program was a significant challenge. The organization required a flexible and easy-to-use system that could address the unique barriers faced by system-impacted youth.
The implementation of GoSprout involved collaborative planning to ensure the platform adequately supported the diverse media arts apprenticeships offered by Better Youth. The initial phase focused on integrating existing data with GoSprout’s system and customizing the user interface to be engaging and accessible for young creatives. Training sessions were conducted for both staff and participants to maximize the benefits of the platform.
Regular meetings between Better Youth’s program coordinators and GoSprout’s support team helped refine the user experience, ensuring that the platform not only met but exceeded the organization’s operational and educational goals. This ongoing partnership has been crucial in adapting to evolving needs and scaling the impact of the apprenticeships.
