Iowa Registered Apprenticeship Trends by Education Level

Quarterly data from 2008 Q1 onward tracks registered apprentices in Iowa by education level and program status. The dataset includes counts for new apprentices, active apprentices, and program completers. It is maintained by the State of Iowa.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in education_level for new_apprentices over time to assess recruitment demographics.
• Model quarterly counts of active_apprentices by education_level using time-series forecasting.
• Compare completer rates across different education_levels to evaluate program success factors.

Strengths

• Time series spans from 2008 Q1, providing over 15 years of quarterly observations.
• Data is broken down by three distinct RA status categories (new, active, completers).

Limitations

• Sample size and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Geographic coverage is limited to the state of Iowa, not nationally representative.
