A Descriptive Analysis of the U.S. Department of Labor's Long-Term Care Registered Apprenticeship Programs

This report provides an overview of Long-Term Care Registered Apprenticeship Programs (LTC RAPs) based on existing administrative data from U.S. Department of Labor. The purpose of this initial review is to support the design of a potential future evaluation of the effects of LTC RAPs on apprentices and the program sponsors that administer or operate them. The report summarizes findings from both apprentice and program-level analyses on how employment and training characteristics vary across different types of apprentices and apprenticeship programs. The report also provides a context for selecting program site visits where more intensive process/implementation analyses will take place and enrich our understanding of the actual operations of LTC RAPs.
