CompTIA and Maher & Maher were selected by the USDOL to participate in the national apprenticeship initiative to increase the number of workers trained and certified to fill high-demand tech positions, especially from groups who are under-represented in the tech workforce, including women, people of color and individuals with disabilities.

The National Guideline Standards detail the workplace training and supplemental coursework for apprentices in each of the four IT job roles. For example, tech project coordinator apprentices will receive on-the-job training and instruction in the basics of project management, general IT terminology and concepts, business acumen, employability skills and other areas.

For employers the standards include guidance on the qualifications and recruitment of prospective apprentices, the duration of training and a recommended wage scale.
