Why Platform Choice Determines Program Success

The U.S. faces 10+ million unfilled skilled jobs across critical industries. Apprenticeship programs are the solution—but only if they actually work. With industry-average completion rates stuck at 60%, choosing the right platform isn't just about features. It's about achieving the 95%+ completion rates that successful programs demand.

Two Completely Different Approaches

ApprentiScope: "Digitize compliance, stay compliant"

  • Built for individual employers needing basic DOL reporting
  • Manual data entry with limited bulk capabilities
  • Traditional tracking model focused on regulatory minimums

Craft: "Transform compliance into competitive advantage"

  • Designed for education-workforce ecosystem integration
  • AI-assisted AutoReg for automated DOL form generation
  • Outcome-focused platform driving measurable results and $78M+ in funding

Feature-by-Feature Analysis

Program Management: Craft's real-time dashboards track strategic outcomes; ApprentiScope offers basic time tracking.

Mobile/Support: Both mobile-friendly; Craft's unlimited US-based training and strategic consulting transforms programs, as seen in 95%+ completion rates.
