AACC, through the ECCA initiative, is focusing on increasing diversity by focusing registered apprenticeship programs to be more accessible to women and minorities. Progress has been incorporated with minority workers, but the share of women apprentices remains low, despite the fact that 57% of community college enrollees are women and 55% are from minority populations. As with any new community college initiative of large magnitude and complexity, building in a feedback model to assess and evaluate progress throughout the development, implementation, and maintenance of a registered apprenticeship program is crucial.

When implementing a successful community college registered apprenticeship program, assessing your college’s readiness is a must. Planning a new registered apprenticeship program initiative at a community college requires a systematic assessment plan, investigating both internal and external assets. This assessment should focus on a college’s internal capacity, institutional support, employer partner awareness and interest, employer partner support, labor market capacity, and sustainability.
