16. Why A Registered Apprenticeship: Program Registration Process Packet?
Created with employers and sponsors in mind:
Capture all of the pieces of the registration process together in a single document.
Started as our checklist for planning and running our Accelerators.
Teach about what’s needed for registration: documentation and the process for gathering information.
