Why Craft

Designed for Real Apprenticeship Workflows

Whether you're tracking OJT hours, RTI completions, or managing employer partners, Craft Connect is designed for the complexity of registered apprenticeships. Ditch the spreadsheets and disconnected tools. Craft brings it all together, so your focus stays on the learner and the outcomes that matter.

The Status Quo

  • Manual hour tracking and paper logs that slow everything down
  • Disjointed systems for RTI, OJT, and employer coordination
  • Compliance and funding reporting that takes too much time and too many people

With Craft

  • Workforce program management software that tracks everything in one place.
  • Role-based access and built-in reporting for USDOL, WIOA, and state requirements
  • A learner-first design with feedback, milestones, and progress visibility built in.

Need additional support?

From startup planning to state integration, Craft Consulting helps apprenticeship leaders design and scale programs that deliver—on paper and in practice.

Why It Matters

When Systems Work Together, Learners Go Farther

Departments of labor, educators, and employers have interdependent goals—but independent ways of working.

The Shortage Ends When the Silos Do

The talent exists. An infrastructure for alignment between training providers, employers, and regulatory agencies is key to closing the gap.

The Cost of Alignment

Talent Together’s registered apprenticeship program in Michigan makes expansive pathways to careers possible. But cross-system documentation takes time away from actual execution.

“Craft is the only place we document standards progress. Their platform gives us the credibility we need with the DOL and the districts. A spreadsheet can’t do that.”

Gina Zuberbier
Program Manager, MI Talent Together

"Reflecting on year one outcomes from Talent Together, I see that so much of it would not have been possible without Craft. The pipeline for apprentices is REAL here in Michigan. Between Cohorts 1 and 2, we are adding over 1,350 teachers to the educator workforce pipeline."

Jack Elsey
Founder & CEO, Michigan Educator Workforce Initiative

I've talked to everyone about just how amazing you two were, so I appreciate you, and it made my project go so much quicker, so thank you."
