Abstract: This is a one-time survey of sponsors of registered apprenticeship programs, using a stratified random sample with oversampling of sponsors in high growth industries who have recently begun apprenticeship programs. The survey will be conducted by phone or Internet at the respondent’s choice. The findings will fill a gap in knowledge by providing, for the first time, systematic information on the views of sponsors concerning costs and benefits and on interactions with other parts of the workforce development system.
