AI-Related Apprenticeship Analysis Summary

Key Findings

1. Growth and Volume

   • From 2013 to 2023, over 19,257 new apprentices joined AI-related programs.
   • Technical AI apprenticeships grew 250% annually (vs. 15% for all occupations), with the most rapid growth between 2020–2022 (accounting for 54% of total growth).
   • A sharp decline occurred in 2023, largely due to changes in top-performing states and sponsors.

2. Completion Rates

   • 68% of AI-related apprentices completed their programs, 25 percentage points higher than the average for all apprenticeships.
   • Completion rates remained robust even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. Demographic Diversity

   • Black Apprentices: Represented 23% of AI-related apprentices, significantly higher than the 12% average for all apprenticeships. By 2020–2023, Black apprentices nearly equaled White apprentices.
   • Women: Accounted for 31% of AI apprentices, higher than the 12% average for all apprenticeships, but still lower than the 25% in the broader AI workforce.
   • Hispanic/Latino: Only 12% of AI apprentices identified as Hispanic or Latino, compared to 20% for all apprenticeships.

4. Geographic Distribution

   • The top ten states (accounting for 62% of total apprentices) were Missouri, Texas, California, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, New York, and Illinois.
   • Growth was concentrated in a few states and sponsors, but programs were present in every state. Smaller sponsors (administering <10 apprentices) also contributed significantly.

5. Sponsors and Program Structure

   • 478 sponsors managed 540 programs for AI apprenticeships. Large sponsors (e.g., Apprenti, LaunchCode, IBM) accounted for half of all registrations.
   • Programs were accessible to smaller organizations, with some sponsors employing fewer than 50 people.
   • The Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Sprint (2022) contributed to a temporary surge in apprenticeships.

Policy Recommendations

• Continue federal and state support for apprenticeships to sustain growth and normalize them as a viable career pathway.
• Address disparities in female and Hispanic/Latino participation.
• Investigate reasons for the 2023 decline to ensure program sustainability.
