IRA Apprenticeship Compliance, Handled for You
Trusted by contractors nationwide
Apprenticeship Non-Compliance Doesn't Just Cost You Fees. It Costs You the Project.
You Don't Know You're Out of Compliance Until After the Damage Is Done
The DoL doesn't send a warning before issuing violations. By the time a contractor finds out they've missed a ratio, failed a filing, or misreported hours, the penalties are already on the table. Willful violations run $500 per non-compliant labor hour.
No One on Your Team Is Qualified to Be a DoL Program Sponsor
Running a registered apprenticeship program means taking on federal sponsor responsibilities. That means state filings, DoL reporting, audit exposure, and accountability for every hour logged in your program. Most contractors have no one built for that role.
Your IRA Consultant Doesn't Cover Your Apprenticeship Program
Your IRA consultant handles the tax credit side. They don't touch your registered apprenticeship program. That gap is where contractors get caught. Falling out of DoL compliance means falling out of IRA compliance, and both credits are at risk.
Compliance Shouldn't Be Your Problem to Own
Apprentix was built for exactly that gap. We act as your registered program sponsor so you don't carry the federal sponsor burden. We file with the DoL, monitor your apprentices, handle audits, and alert you before anything falls out of line. No scrambling for documents at the wrong moment. No surprises. You focus on winning and delivering IRA projects. We make sure your apprenticeship program never gives anyone a reason to take the credits back.
Full-Coverage DoL Compliance, From Day One
Proactive Compliance Monitoring
Apprentix allows contractors to register apprentices, track their training hours, monitor wage increases, and keep their program compliant with the DoL. When something drifts out of range, you get an alert, not a penalty notice.
Dedicated Compliance Management
Apprentix's platform and compliance team manage your program end to end. The system monitors your apprentices, flags issues before they become violations, and keeps every filing on track. You also get full access to our Self Service Knowledge Base, real-time in-app live chat, and email support. If a strategy call is required or you want to get us on the phone with your customer to work things out, we're happy to do that as well.
Automated DoL Reporting
The Apprentix platform generates every required form: Apprenticeship Standards, Registration Certificates, Appendix A through D, Form 671 apprenticeship agreements, Davis-Bacon wage certificates, letters of authorization, confirmation of reciprocity, and apprentice progress reports. Your team stops spending hours on government forms and starts spending that time on the project.
7-Year Audit-Ready Recordkeeping
The DoL requires 7 years of apprenticeship records. Every hour log, wage progression, competency evaluation, and filing is stored in the platform from day one. If an auditor shows up, everything is organized and ready.
Nationwide Coverage in 7 Occupations
Apprentix holds certified National Guideline Standards issued by the Department of Labor across 48 states in 7 occupations: Construction Craft Laborer, Heavy Equipment Operator, Electrician, Pipefitter, Surveyor, Wind Turbine Technician, and Carpenter (Form Builder). Take on IRA projects in new states without re-registering your program from scratch.
**Coverage excludes California (no state projects, IRA-only ok) and New York.
