Which entity typically oversees apprenticeship programs in the Northeastern region?

The oversight of apprenticeship programs in the Northeastern region is primarily the responsibility of the Northeastern Apprenticeship and Training (NEAT) program. NEAT is specifically designed to promote and facilitate various apprenticeships and training pathways tailored to the needs of the workforce in that area. This program provides the structure, support, and resources necessary for both apprentices and the businesses that employ them, ensuring that apprentices receive the hands-on training and experience they need to succeed in their chosen trades.

While other entities like the Department of Labor play a role in regulating and setting standards for apprenticeship programs nationwide, it is the NEAT program that directly manages the specific programs offered within the Northeastern region, connecting local businesses with qualified trainees and ensuring compliance with regional requirements.
