The purpose of this Training and Employment Notice (TEN) is to provide uniform guidance regarding the goals and use of the new ApprenticeshipUSA brand, inform the workforce system of key initiatives for Registered Apprenticeship expansion, and share technical resources that can be used to promote Registered Apprenticeship overall. This TEN replaces the previous TEN 20-15, “ApprenticeshipUSA Information and New Technical Assistance Resources for Starting and Enhancing Registered Apprenticeship Programs,” since the information contained in the previous TEN is now obsolete, and the current TEN provides new and more detailed information. The ApprenticeshipUSA brand will unify, engage, and empower all stakeholders in the national Registered Apprenticeship system to help support the Department of Labor’s (DOL) broader goals. DOL’s goals include striving to expand, diversify, modernize, and strengthen Registered Apprenticeship so it can continue to meet critical industry needs and build a pipeline of diverse talent into good, quality jobs, especially for historically underserved and marginalized communities.
