What is an LER?
An LER, or Learning and Employment Record, is a digital record of learning and work that can be grouped together with other individual LERs to describe your abilities when pursuing education and employment opportunities.
Connect Verified Apprenticeship Records from the US Office of Apprenticeship
Registered Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience with a mentor, receive progressive wage increases, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential. Registered Apprenticeships are industry-vetted and approved and validated by the U.S. Department of Labor or a State Apprenticeship Agency.
You can "Connect" any Registered Apprenticeship record under "Add Credentials", bringing in the verified credential and associated skills into your digital wallet when available. You can explore apprenticeship opportunities the US Apprenticeship Finder.
