Comparing Workforce Models

TRADITIONAL HIRING PATHWAY APPRENTICESHIP DEGREE PATHWAY
Compete for external, already credentialed hires Advance local talent in your organization
Employers often pay for external training programs Reduced costs with a stable pipeline of trained workers
High costs for recruitment, onboarding, and turnover Day one contribution with growing skill alignment
Workers often leave within one to two years Lower overall cost and no tuition for learners
Six to twelve months to reach full productivity Yields contribution with growing skill alignment
Learning is disconnected from real job requirement Coursework and practice are guided by academics and practitioners

What Makes the Apprenticeship Degree Different

EDUCATION AS A WORKFORCE STRATEGY. 

Traditional hiring models make employers compete for talent. The Apprenticeship Degree links on-the-job learning with accredited degrees to advance and retain skilled employees and aid in new recruitment.

Proven Employer Outcomes

Work-embedded learning provides employers improvements in retention, cost savings, and stability.

  • Higher retention:

    Implementing work-embedded training enhances employee retention and engagement.

    A Washington state analysis of apprenticeship models found a 40% ROI over three years, yielding value of more than $70,000 per hire. Traditional pipelines yield about 14% ROI.

  • Reduce costs and maintain efficiency:

    Apprentices start contributing meaningful value and continue to grow in effectiveness throughout the program, lowering onboarding and training expenses.

  • Improved workforce strategy:

    Apprenticeship Degrees are a value-driven strategy for building internal talent, and replacing reactive hiring cycles with a steady pipeline aligned to real organizational needs.
