Sponsor data: U.S. Dept of Labor Registered Apprenticeship (apprenticeship.gov), refreshed quarterly; locations reflect DOL registration records. Duplicate registrations and corrections-facility programs are filtered from display. Independent site — not affiliated with the U.S. DOL. About half of states run their own apprenticeship agencies (incl. NY, MN, OR, VT, WA, DC) — federal data undercounts those states, so a low count there does not mean apprenticeships don't exist.
