For Registered Apprenticeship to achieve its promise as a driver of workforce equity, apprentices themselves must be at the center of program design with the strong support of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) practices.

JFF’s Program Design Framework for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Registered Apprenticeship offers field-informed program design elements and considerations that move beyond simply enrolling diverse participants into programs. It instead focuses on building systems, processes, partnerships, and practices that drive equity across each stage of the apprenticeship experience.
