Abstract: The online database of quality pre-apprenticeship programs provides a valuable tool for job seekers, apprenticeship programs, and American Job Centers’ (AJC) front line staff. This dedicated database also provides a way for job seekers and apprenticeship programs to access pre-apprenticeship programs in their local areas. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) does not currently, nor is it planning to, register or certify pre-apprenticeship programs. Instead, ETA uses this database to connect pre-apprenticeship providers with apprenticeship programs. Through technical assistance, ETA also seeks to improve the consistency and quality of these pre-apprenticeship programs. The online database helps ETA identify pre-apprenticeship programs that meet the “quality pre-apprenticeship” definition and the quality framework criteria. Finally, this national database of pre-apprenticeship programs facilitates connections between pre-apprenticeship program participants and apprenticeship program sponsors. The database is a web-based information tool that identifies the nearest pre-apprenticeship program and describes the services and training it provides to prepare participants for eligibility for apprenticeship programs.

Short Statement: This information collection is a revision with changes made to the questionnaire to reflect the expansion of the apprenticeship system. OA has added several new questions to a few sections of the questionnaire, and has made minor edits to individual questions. OA has updated annual burden time to reflect the time it will take respondents to complete the revised instrument. OA anticipates that the extra questions will take respondents an additional 4 minutes to complete. Therefore, it will take respondents 14 minutes to complete the questionnaire instead of 10. It will also take OA staff 7 minutes to review the data with the respondent instead of 5 minutes.
