Programs, learners, on-the-job hours, competencies, reviewer queues, and funder-ready reporting, in one system an employer, university, or intermediary can actually run. Craft Connect is built around the realities of registered apprenticeship and the public funding that pays for it.
Most programs stitch this together across a spreadsheet for hours, an LMS for coursework, email for approvals, and a scramble at every funder deadline. Craft Connect keeps the people, the evidence, and the reporting in one place, so each step feeds the next instead of starting over.
A program administrator configures the program to registered-apprenticeship standards and invites learners, employers, and evaluators. Access is invitation-gated from the first click.
Learners log on-the-job hours against the program's work-process schedule from any browser, on the floor or in the field. No native app to install.
Mentors and reviewers work a queue, not an inbox. They approve hours, submissions, and competencies, or send them back. Every action is time-stamped and attributable.
Sign-offs roll into a clean competency record and the measurable skill gains funders ask for, per learner and per program. The audit trail builds itself.
One data model produces the WIOA, Perkins, RAPIDS, and Workforce Pell exports your funders and accreditors accept. Re-run any cycle without rebuilding the numbers.
Craft Connect is not a bundle of tools to wire together. It is one platform with one identity layer and one data model. Whatever a person's role, they work in the same product, against the same source of truth.
On-the-job learning at registered-apprenticeship standard. Programs, work-process schedules, time logs, submissions, reviewer queues, and competency rollups. Three role views — Admin, Learner, and Reviewer — out of the box.
People, organizations, invitations, and roles in one place. Manage the employers, university partners, intermediaries, and learners moving across them, with permissioning that follows each person's role.
One data model behind every funder export. Measurable skill gains, completion rollups, and dashboards built toward the specifications funders and accreditors actually accept, so a grant cycle starts with an export, not a panic.
An Admin running 12 programs sees a programs list. A Learner sees their next task. A Reviewer sees the queue waiting on them. One source of truth, three completely different home screens.
Learners log hours against the program's work-process schedule. Mentors and reviewers approve. Totals roll up to the program and the sponsor, at registered-apprenticeship standard.
Frameworks per program. Sign-offs per learner. A clean record of measurable skill gains that maps to both employer expectations and funder reporting requirements.
WIOA, CTE/Perkins, SAEF, Title II, and Workforce Pell reporting from one data model. Measurable skill gain exports, completion rollups, and dashboards built toward what funders accept.
Submissions, time logs, and competencies route to the right reviewer with an SLA. Approve, request changes, or escalate — every action time-stamped and attributable.
Invitation-gated registration. Single sign-on and multi-factor authentication. Role-based permissioning, so people see only what their role allows. Audit trails on every record, built for compliance from day one.
Every role works in the same shell, the same identity layer, and the same data model. To the people who use it, Craft Connect is one product, not a stack of tools to reconcile.
The Craft Platform doesn't ask you to abandon your LMS, your SIS, your HRIS, or your state reporting tool. It plugs into them — and turns the gaps between them into a single program record.
Rural providers and districts should not have to choose between staying solvent and growing their own workforce. Public dollars exist to pay for these pathways, but they are siloed, heavily regulated, and exhausting to assemble and report against. Craft helps braid them into one funding model: the platform captures the data funders require, and Craft Consulting helps you assemble the stack.
Craft helps you braid the public streams that pay for paid pathways into a single map tailored to your state and region. The platform reports against each one from the same data model, so the evidence a funder asks for is already there.
Eligibility and allowable-cost rules vary by state and program. Craft Consulting helps you map, submit, and renew them.
Grounded in what Craft Connect does today.
Where the optimized stack actually gets built.
The people who sign off on a platform, in IT, security, and procurement, ask different questions than the people who run the programs. Craft Connect is built to answer them.
No open sign-ups. Every account is invited and scoped to a role before it exists. Registration is by invitation only.
People see only what their role allows. Admin, Learner, Reviewer, sponsor, employer, and agency each get a different, scoped view of the same record.
Every hour, submission, sign-off, and approval is time-stamped and attributable. The audit trail builds itself as the work happens.
Single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, so access to Craft Connect follows the identity policy your organization already enforces.
WCAG 2.2 monitoring is embedded in our development process, with audits, remediation, and continuous monitoring. A VPAT is available for procurement review.
Craft Connect is not trying to replace the systems you already run. It fills the apprenticeship-management gap those systems were never built for, and works alongside them.
Craft Connect does not host coursework, manage assignments, or store grades. It is not an LMS.
The workforce alignment, on-the-job hours, sign-offs, and compliance an LMS was never designed to handle, sitting alongside the one you already use.
Craft Connect does not manage enrollment records, transcripts, payroll, or job titles. It will not replace your SIS or HRIS.
The program record those systems leave out, the on-the-job evidence of learning that proves a pathway worked.
Craft Connect is not a thin tracking utility bolted onto a spreadsheet.
Audit-ready compliance, RSI documentation, and learner-centered progress that narrow tools lack, on one platform that an employer, university, or intermediary can run together.
Craft fills the apprenticeship-management gap, then plugs into the LMS, SIS, HRIS, and state systems you already run.
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 can't do that.Gina Zuberbier · Program Manager, MI Talent Together
