Your next nurse.
Your next teacher.
Already in your community.
Craft is the platform behind apprenticeship and work-based learning. We braid the funding, name the academic partner, and run the operational back office, so the talent your community needs can train close to home. Built for healthcare and education.
A workforce program is a lot of moving parts. We hold them together.
Most organizations do not fail to build a pathway for lack of will. They fail because the funding, the academic partner, the compliance, and the day-to-day tracking each live somewhere else. Craft brings them onto one platform.
Braided funding
We align the federal and state streams that pay for paid pathways and document the use of funds so the dollars hold up to audit.
Named academic partner
Related technical instruction is delivered by a national partner from day one, so you are not sourcing curriculum or accreditation alone.
On-the-job tracking
Learners log hours against the work-process schedule. Mentors approve in a queue. Totals roll up to the program at registered-apprenticeship standard.
Funder-ready reporting
One data model produces the WIOA, Perkins, RAPIDS, and Workforce Pell reports your funders and accreditors actually accept.
Every role, one view
Admins, learners, mentors, and reviewers each work in the same product, against the same source of truth scoped to their role.
Compliant by default
Security-compliant, invitation-gated, and accessible. The audit trail builds itself as the work happens, so review season is not a scramble.
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 cannot do that.Gina Zuberbier · Program Manager, MI Talent Together
Two pathways, fully funded.
A medical assistant cohort, run at $0 net to the hospital.
A 14-apprentice MA pathway ran an 18-week program at $0 net to the employer after state IWT and WIOA OJT wage reimbursement cleared. Craft Services mapped the stack — WIOA OJT for wages, Perkins reserve for RTI, state IWT for incumbent upskilling, and a local philanthropic match for supportive services. Craft Connect ran the pathway and produced the WIOA, Perkins, and RAPIDS exports at renewal.
A para-to-teacher cohort, fully funded across three years.
A six-district consortium ran a para-to-licensed-teacher pathway across three cohorts with $0 tuition cost to the apprentice. Craft Services braided Title II-A, a state Grow-Your-Own grant, Perkins V for the para certificate stage, and a regional foundation match for childcare during student-teaching. Craft Connect tracked hours and produced ESSA Tier IV reporting.
