Registered Apprenticeship — CFDA 17.285

Apprenticeship obligations at $823,907,720.27

USAspending.gov records $823,907,720.27 in obligations under CFDA 17.285. Three hundred four awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2,710,223 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical sponsor agreement and not a cost per apprentice. Other Employment and Training Administration listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $823,907,720.27.

The assistance-listing title is REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP. CFDA 17.285 is the identifier. Combining 17.285 with WIOA or Job Corps codes would invent a combined workforce total this packet does not contain. Read the $823,907,720.27 as the obligation book tagged 17.285 only.

144 recipients across 57 jurisdictions

One hundred forty-four recipients share 304 awards, or about 2.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $823,907,720.27 evenly would assign about $5.72 million per recipient. That density is a competitive-grant pattern: a mid-size named-organization headcount carrying a couple of assistance rows. The packet does not list the 144.

Fifty-seven jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus territories and other coded entities. Apprenticeship dollars still follow funded sponsors and state offices, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of apprentices or training providers.

Award rows are not an apprentice census

Among Labor listings, 17.285 is a mid-row file: 304 awards against 144 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of apprenticeship programs” and a worse proxy for people in training. Recipients (144) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (304) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report RAPIDS registrations, completion rates, or wage progressions. Citing 304 as apprentices would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $823,907,720.27 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus apprenticeship outlays

The $823,907,720.27 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Registered Apprenticeship awards — are not in the packet. A competitive file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow training periods. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 17.285 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a registered-apprentice roster, not an occupation inventory, and not a wage file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $823,907,720.27. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 304 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 57 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of apprenticeship funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to sponsors.
