Registered Apprenticeship programs are valuable models to recruit and develop well-trained workers in highly-skilled occupations. For those who choose this path, various data is available about their success, including: occupation, industry of employment, and wages -- among others. This data is now easily accessed and viewed in the Tableau visualization data tool available on the Registered Apprenticeship web page (www.iowalmi.gov/ra).
