  • Collaborate with workforce boards, career centers, unions, employers’ community colleges and other training vendors to develop strategies to improve the access to and utilization of Registered Apprenticeship statewide.
  • Research, analyze and interpret Federal and State laws, rules, regulations and guidelines toward the development of clear, concise written policy guidance and process/procedural technical instruction.
