Abstract: The purpose of the consortium is to facilitate awarding the Registered Apprenticeship completion certificate towards college credit. Consortium post-secondary members agree to accept apprentice graduates from member Registered Apprenticeship sponsors with the approximate amount of credit towards college that has been designated by a third party evaluator. This consortium is based on the Service Members Opportunities Colleges Consortium supported by the Department of Defense. The data collection includes three application forms to join the consortium. There are three types of memberships and separate applications for each member: (1) the application for Registered Apprenticeship sponsors asks for contact information for the national, regional or single guideline standards or program, all participating training centers ( if applicable) and the value of the apprenticeship program towards college credit; (2) the application for two- and four-year post-secondary institutions requests contact, degree and credit transfer information; and (3) national, regional or state organizations that represent sponsors and/or two- and four-year post-secondary colleges and will facilitate the membership in the consortium requests contact information and the nature of the relationship with sponsors or colleges.
