Iowa Office of Apprenticeship (IOA) is announcing a new partnership with Merit, focused on better serving high school Quality Pre-Apprenticeships (QPA) and expanding those programs to better support the future workforce.
The partnership with Merit introduces a digitized process for tracking progress during a QPA program, as well as a statewide dashboard, and also provides an optional platform for students to digitally track their earned credentials and other achievements.
QPA is a set of strategies designed to prepare individuals to explore, enter and succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship Program, and many high schools are engaged in this work-based learning model that greatly benefits students.
For questions about Merit's verified digital credentials platform, please contact: [email protected].
