What You Can Do with RA Ex

Capabilities overview

See an at-a-glance recommendation based on availability and fit (e.g., Join an existing program, adopt/customize an already existing program, or build a new program).

Confirm "apprenticeability" and whether a federal standard is available for the occupation.

Compare occupation matches and view related occupations when your job does not align perfectly.

Review program structures including program type (time-, competency-, or hybrid-based), on-the-job training (OJT) hours, wage progression, Work Process Schedule (WPS), and Related Technical Instruction (RTI) topics/hours.

Identify local sponsors and access sponsor contact details to support outreach and partnership.

Understand the "why" behind the recommendation, including key thresholds and match indicators.

Use consistent data sources (e.g., O*NET, U.S. DOL RAPIDS, BLS/JobsEQ, state RAP sponsor records where available) and AI analysis to ground decisions in reliable information.
