The U.S. Department of Labor’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) regulations outline procedures that all Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) sponsors must follow to ensure their programs are free from unlawful discrimination and harassment.
When RAP sponsors extend outreach, recruitment, and retention efforts to all qualified individuals and operate programs free from harassment, RAPs increase the skilled workforce and provide outstanding career opportunities for Rhode Islanders.

Registered Apprenticeship is a proven strategy for employers to recruit, train, and retain a skilled workforce and for Rhode Islanders to launch family-sustaining careers. We provide no-cost technical assistance to design, register, and implement Registered Apprenticeship Programs in new industries and occupations.
