The MARC is an official endorsement that acts as a quality stamp for Apprenticeship Readiness (AR) programming. It confirms that an AR program completer has the foundational skills employers suggest are essential for entry into, and successful completion of a Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP).
MARC endorsement levels are not sequential. They are distinct program endorsements, each with their own specific value.
MARC Level I
This level indicates a person is ready to enter a RAP within a specific industry. Completing a MARC Level I endorsed program can significantly benefit both the individual and the employer. For the individual, eligibility for an interview. For employer RAP sponsors, it speeds up the hiring process by providing a pool of pre-qualified candidates.
MARC Level II
This level indicates a person is both ready for an industry and better prepared for a specific occupation. In addition to eligibility for an interview, individuals hired after completing a MARC Level II endorsed program will receive credit in their RAP for their prior training, both in the classroom (Related Instruction) and on the job (On-Job-Learning). This saves employers valuable time and money by shortening the apprenticeship's duration.
