Synthesis Report: Registered Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning Synthesis
Topic Area: Registered Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning
Findings:
Sectoral training and employment programs that offered specific pathways for occupational training and other career supports improved education and training outcomes, and some improved employment or earnings.
Subsidized and transitional employment improved employment and earnings in the short term.
Registered Apprenticeship (RA) improved employment and earnings, but the evidence base is small.
WIA training services had more favorable impacts on employment and earnings outcomes in the long term than in the short term, though these outcomes were mixed overall.
