We work with colleges, universities and training providers to support connections to Registered Apprenticeship and the workforce system, including access to funding.
As a college, university or training provider, you play an essential role in workforce development, including within the Registered Apprenticeship ecosystem. Your ability to understand the changing business landscape, predict future labor needs, understand skill gaps and develop strategies to address them are keys to your organization’s success.
Our team has worked with educators throughout the country to round out their workforce offerings. This work has enabled our education clients to expand and fund workforce solutions for their students and business partners, including within the Registered Apprenticeship arena. We would welcome an opportunity to discuss your organization’s workforce goals and demonstrate how we can augment the excellent services you already provide.
How We Can Help
The JobForward team is dedicated to your success, taking the time to listen and understand your needs. We aim to exceed your expectations. Here are some examples of ways we can assist:
Workforce Consulting
JobForward staff have worked with employers of all sizes throughout the country to analyze the members’ workforce challenges and design solutions that are effective today and for the future. We bring these workforce insights into our work with educators.
Workforce Funding Assistance
Our staff have decades of experience in assessing funding needs, identifying potential funding sources, and crafting competitive and successful funding applications. We have worked with many colleges and universities to identify and apply for workforce funding. We have also partnered with educators to implement apprenticeship and other workforce grants.
Grant and Incentive Data Management and Security
JobForward uses a proprietary system to accurately and efficiently process data necessary for grant and incentive compliance to ensure accurate and secure reporting to government and other funding agencies. Our security protocols include data encryption during transit and while at rest, as well as two-factor authentication tools. This state-of-the art system ensures accurate and secure reporting to government and other funding agencies.
Apprenticeship Technical Assistance Services
JobForward staff provide apprenticeship technical assistance services to colleges, universities and training organizations throughout the country. We’ve assisted with developing apprenticeship standards, implementing apprenticeship programs, identifying and securing employer partners and developing sustainability plans to ensure continuity of Registered Apprenticeship programs.
Registered Apprenticeship
Becoming a Registered Apprenticeship sponsor on behalf of area employers is a valuable benefit that you can offer. We can help. Our staff has supported Registered Apprenticeship nationally and in nearly every U.S. state. We can assist with development, recruitment, selection, curriculum development, education delivery, certifications with third parties, work process development, competency measurement, apprentice mentoring, mentor and staff training and apprenticeship reporting.
Intermediary Services
For educators that would like to participate in apprenticeship programs but prefer not to become an apprenticeship sponsor, JobForward can serve as the apprenticeship standards holder and sponsor, thus enabling your organization to focus on what it does best.
