Every district. Every hospital.
Every pathway in your state.
On one record.
Craft is the platform behind apprenticeship and work-based learning. For a state agency, that means one data model across every district, college, prep program, and health system running a funded pathway in your state, with the funding braided, the outcomes tracked, and the reporting produced from a single source. Built for departments of education, workforce agencies, and the governors' offices that fund them.
A workforce program is a lot of moving parts. We hold them together.
Most programs do not fail to build a pathway for lack of will. They fail because the funding, the academic partner, the compliance, and the day-to-day tracking each live somewhere else. For a state agency, that fragmentation multiplies across every grantee. Craft brings them onto one platform, so the agency sees the same record the program runs on.
Braided funding
We align the federal and state streams that pay for paid pathways and document the use of funds so the dollars hold up to audit.
Named academic partner
Related technical instruction is delivered by a national partner from day one, so you are not sourcing curriculum or accreditation alone.
On-the-job tracking
Learners log hours against the work-process schedule. Mentors approve in a queue. Totals roll up to the program at registered-apprenticeship standard.
Funder-ready reporting
One data model produces the WIOA, Perkins, RAPIDS, Title II, and Workforce Pell reports your funders and accreditors accept, and gives the agency statewide visibility across every grantee from the same source.
Every role, one view
Admins, learners, mentors, and reviewers each work in the same product, against the same source of truth scoped to their role.
Compliant by default
Security-compliant, invitation-gated, and accessible. The audit trail builds itself as the work happens, so review season is not a scramble.
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 cannot do that.Gina Zuberbier · Program Manager, MI Talent Together
What it looks like in practice.
A medical assistant cohort, run at $0 net to the hospital.
A 14-apprentice MA pathway ran an 18-week program at $0 net to the employer after state IWT and WIOA OJT wage reimbursement cleared. Craft Services mapped the stack — WIOA OJT for wages, Perkins reserve for RTI, state IWT for incumbent upskilling, and a local philanthropic match for supportive services. Craft Connect ran the pathway and produced the WIOA, Perkins, and RAPIDS exports at renewal.
A para-to-teacher cohort, fully funded across three years.
A six-district consortium ran a para-to-licensed-teacher pathway across three cohorts with $0 tuition cost to the apprentice. Craft Services braided Title II-A, a state Grow-Your-Own grant, Perkins V for the para certificate stage, and a regional foundation match for childcare during student-teaching. Craft Connect tracked hours and produced ESSA Tier IV reporting.

Let's build a statewide pathway model.
Tell us which programs your agency funds and what you need to report on them. We'll come back with a draft data model, a funding map, and what the first 90 days look like. For state education agencies, we'll also share our National Scan of Teacher Workforce Data Systems and what we learned mapping work-based learning statewide with the Indiana Department of Education.
