    Apprenticeships Are Amazing…

    And Complicated to Manage for Apprenticeship Sponsors

    Registered Apprenticeship Programs create enormous, lasting value for employers, training providers, and apprentices, but there are far too few apprenticeship programs in existence.

    Without the right tools, being a sponsor can be prohibitively expensive and frustrating.

    That’s about to change…

    The Problem

    The complexity of compliant administration makes apprenticeship sponsorship unbelievably burdensome.

    For those that serve as RAP sponsors, keeping paperwork up-to-date, filings on-time, stakeholders coordinated, and apprentices graduating with real skills and on-schedule is a huge undertaking.

    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.

    Develop Custom Software?

    Building & Maintaining a Custom, Proprietary Software System Is Even More Expensive

    If your team wants to focus on graduating polished apprentices, they don’t have time to test software.

    Love for GoSprout:

    GoSprout was my knight in shining armor.

    Not only was it very user friendly, but it also tracks all of our on-the-job training and has a place for our related instruction, which are the two main components for an apprenticeship program.

    And Roger made our setup experience awesome, very user-friendly. So I love GoSprout!

    I started GoSprout to ensure we take a holistic approach to the development of people. After spending the last 15 years in the workforce space, I’ve learned that the key to untapping and developing talent is addressing 100% of the person. GoSprout creates just that – Technology as a vehicle but PEOPLE at the wheel.
