A concise mapping for employers, sponsors, and workforce partners.
Core Components
What's included and how it maps to WIOA
| Component | Description | WIOA / System Linkage |
|---|---|---|
| Proactive Compliance (WIOA & PIRL Agents) | Built-in logic that validates participant and performance data against WIOA Titles I–IV and PIRL schema; keeps every apprentice record ETA-9173/ETA-9179 ready. | Supports WIOA Sec. 116 performance accountability; improves data validity/integrity; reduces audit risk. |
| Agreement Workflows | Digital templates for apprenticeship standards, employer agreements, and provider MOUs with e-signature routing and version tracking. | Streamlines state and sponsor registration (29 CFR 29/30) and documentation. |
| Skills Assessment Engine | Customizable assessment mapped to O*NET and Competency-Based Apprenticeship Standards; benchmarks readiness and progression. | Aligns to career pathways and supports measurable skill gains (MSG). |
| Onboarding & Participant Tracking | Integrated intake, eligibility, and enrollment tied to CWDS, RAPIDS, or local WIOA systems. | Reduces duplication, supports case management compliance, and automates data flow to state reporting. |
| ROI Analytics Dashboard | Measures cost-benefit (time-to-journeyworker, retention, wage gain, productivity return). | Mirrors DOL AAI ROI metrics (ETAOP 2022-36) for employer investment evidence. |
| TurbineLMS | Delivers, tracks, and certifies RTI using AI course builder; supports digital and hybrid delivery. | Meets apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship quality standards; supports MSG tracking. |
| Pre-Apprenticeship (VELA PreRA) | Modular entry aligned to industry-recognized credentials that connects learners to Registered Apprenticeships. | Supports DEIA goals and career pathway integration (WIOA Title II & Perkins V). |
| Individual Training Plans | Role-based plans mapped to competencies, RTI, and OJT milestones with progress visibility. | Supports MSG, retention strategies, and consistent pathway execution. |
| Actionable Pathways | Sequenced learning and work experiences with coach prompts and timers; reduces time-to-competency. | Improves completion and performance outcomes across cohorts. |
| RTI–Employer–OJT Alignment | Keeps classroom, employer tasks, and OJT evidence synchronized for each apprentice. | Strengthens program quality and compliance documentation for audits. |
Measured Impacts
What employers and sponsors experience
Pre-apprenticeship talent pipeline
Steady inflow of job-ready candidates (youth, women, veterans, career changers) strengthens diversity and readiness.
70% faster program development
Digital templates cut registration cycles from months to weeks.
50% lower administrative load
WIOA/PIRL validation and smart workflows reduce manual entry.
Automated RAPIDS-compliant reporting
API sync ensures each record meets U.S. DOL data integrity requirements.
Higher completion & retention
Mentoring, LMS progress tracking, and ROI visibility sustain engagement.
AI course builder + LMS delivery
Industry-specific RTI built quickly; local customization with national standards.
System-Level Value
For State & Workforce Boards
- Integrated with Unified Plan priorities: career pathways, sector strategies, and equity alignment.
- Feeds valid data to PIRL and GPMS; supports ETA performance reporting for pre-apprenticeship and RA participants.
- Reduces sponsor onboarding friction; simplifies state ATO review and registration workload.
- Supports statewide goals (e.g., 2024–2028 Combined State Plan): faster program growth, digital integration, stronger employer partnerships.
