"Having a partner like Apprentix has really just taken that complete load off of us knowing that you guys apprentice is knowledgeable with the laws and the requirements and the compliance and the documents has all of those boxes checked."

Rebecca Nichols

Head of Compliance

Situation

DC Solar was transitioning apprentices from another sponsor while enrolling new ones and ramping up solar projects. They needed continuity and training that actually matched solar canopy work.

Problem

The previous sponsor’s curriculum was largely irrelevant, causing frustration and some dropouts. Obtaining compliant documents took days or weeks of back-and-forth. They lacked confidence bidding and starting work in additional states.

Solution

Apprentix executed a fast, clean transfer that preserved all prior on-the-job hours, delivered solar-relevant curriculum apprentices could complete on site, provided complete compliance document packets from day one, and handled state additions so the company could scale without friction.

Results

Transfers and new registrations happened in under 24 hours with zero lapse in apprenticeship status. Apprentices became excited about relevant training. Rebecca now has a ready-to-send compliance folder for every project and can confidently bid and start more work across states. Hours of research and document chasing were eliminated.

"It took less than a week for you guys to get us set up. And I think that's when the whole team went, holy crap, here we go. Which was great. 'Cause at that point we're able to call the client and say, we've got a program and that sets us apart from everybody else."
