Four registered apprenticeships

Programs & Training

SOWIB runs four registered apprenticeships. Each one is open, paused, or not stated in a given county depending on its applicant pool, and this page holds every status for every county in one place.

County by county

Every apprenticeship status, county by county

Every program against every county, at a glance. The exact sentence behind each status lives on that program’s own page.

Apprenticeship application status by county, quoted from each program page.
Apprenticeship Coos Curry Douglas
Early Childhood Education Childcare Accepting Accepting Paused
Medical Assistant Healthcare Accepting Accepting Accepting
Surgical Technologist Healthcare Not stated Not stated Paused
Nurse Faculty Healthcare Not stated Not stated Not stated

Every cell is read from that program’s own page. “Not stated” means the page names that county as neither open nor paused; the Surgical Technologist program does this to Coos and Curry. Nothing here is inferred.

One page per program

The four apprenticeships

Each program has its own page carrying the exact sentence behind its status in every county.

What this funds

Seven sectors, one shared set of services

SOWIB funds training across seven sectors: Healthcare, Transportation, Manufacturing, Hospitality & Tourism, Childcare, Construction, Maritime.

SOWIB’s providers describe their WIOA-funded services as career counseling, job search assistance, workforce preparation, work experience, on-the-job training, occupational skills training, transitional jobs, and support services. Which of these a given provider offers depends on whether it serves adults, dislocated workers or youth.
