| Abstract: | This brief describes Virginia's experience with registered apprenticeship from 2017 to 2024 using data from the Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data System (RAPIDS). It reports trends in the number of active apprentices and programs. The analysis suggests that Virginia governor-elect Abigail Spanberger and her incoming administration have a strong foundation to build on. Between 2017 and 2024, Virginia experienced steady growth in the number of new and active apprentices, and the percentage of apprentices earning a living wage at the start of their apprenticeship has grown since 2019. The number of active apprenticeship programs has been high and stable. Finally, most new program registrations are for programs outside of construction, though the number of new programs registered each year has declined since 2021. |
