(CROMWELL, CONNECTICUT) –Governor Ned Lamont and Connecticut Labor Commissioner Danté Bartolomeo have launched the Connecticut Department of Labor’s new e-Apprenticeship System, which will bring on-line the Agency’s Registered Apprenticeship Training Program through the e-License System that is already in use by multiple Connecticut State Agencies.

The system now allows sponsor employers to register new Apprentices, update information on their Registered Apprentices and pay program fees - all over the Internet.

Additionally, Registered Apprentices will be able to use the system to track their progress.

The Registered Apprenticeship Training Program connects employers to Registered Apprentices, who can receive on-the-job training and classroom instruction, master a Trade and earn while they learn.

Thousands of businesses across Connecticut have participated in the program, helping them increase their workforce recruitment and proficiency.

Depending on the Trade, Registered Apprenticeship Programs may last anywhere between one and four years.

Upon completion, Registered Apprentices receive an industry recognized, portable credential that certifies completion of the program, distinguishes the Apprentice as a master of their craft and makes the Apprentice eligible to take any State Occupational Licensing Exams.

Currently, there are more than 7,000 Registered Apprentices working for 1,800 employers within more than 50 industries in Connecticut.

“Registered Apprenticeships are a great way for employers to train and build their workforce and for Workers to receive on-the-job training and master a Trade that will benefit them throughout their careers,” Governor Lamont said. “Many businesses have job openings that need to be filled by Workers trained with certain sets of skills, and filling those positions through Registered Apprenticeships is a great way for a company to build that talent and really invest in their workforce. Bringing this program online with the e-Apprenticeship System will make it even easier for businesses and Workers to participate.”
