RAPIDS registration, ETPL compliance, curriculum standards, enrollment management, funding navigation, progress tracking, credential verification, institutional accountability. Final authority on all program decisions.
Primary RTI Providers (Credential Partners)
State-Approved / Licensed Training Institutions
Occupation-specific classroom instruction, clinical rotations, lab sessions, certification exam preparation. Credentials must match the occupation taught. Operate under signed MOU with Elevate.
Program Holders (RTI Coordinators)
Authorized Curriculum Managers
Curriculum delivery coordination, module sequencing, RTI scheduling, progress documentation. Operate under the instructional authority of Tier 2 Credential Partners. Not independent instructors.
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
Credentialed Industry Professionals
Supplemental instruction, mentoring, lab supervision, module support. Never sole RTI authority — state-approved providers are always involved in RTI delivery for every program.
Employer Partners (OJT Providers)
Approved Employers
Structured workplace training under documented work process schedules, designated supervisors, wage progression (registered apprenticeship), monthly/quarterly evaluations.
Central Compliance System
Institutional LMS
Single system of record for RTI attendance, module completion, assessments, instructor verification, OJT hour logging, cohort progress reporting. Serves as the compliance documentation backbone.
RTI & OJT Hour Structure by Program
Fixed hour minimums per program. These are not flexible — they apply regardless of which credential partner delivers RTI. All hours are tracked through the institutional LMS.

RTI Delivery Model
How Related Technical Instruction is delivered, tracked, and validated.
Related Technical Instruction (RTI) is delivered through state-approved training providers and licensed credential partners aligned to occupation-specific curriculum. Authorized program holders coordinate curriculum delivery and RTI scheduling under licensed instructional supervision. Credentialed subject matter experts provide supplemental instruction, mentoring, and supervised module support. All RTI is tracked through the institutional LMS under centralized program oversight.
RTI Delivery Sources
- Licensed/State-Approved Training Providers
- Credentialed Subject Matter Experts (supplemental)
- LMS Modules (structured, tracked)
- AI-Assisted Tutoring (academic support, not primary instruction)
RTI Compliance Controls
- Credential match: instructor license matches occupation
- Fixed RTI hour minimums per program
- MOU-governed partner relationships
- LMS as single system of record
OJT Structure
On-the-Job Training requirements for employer partners.
Work Process Schedule
Documented hour breakdown by skill area, aligned to occupation, filed with apprenticeship registration.

Competency-Based Assessment
All programs use competency-based assessment aligned to industry skill standards. Competencies are mapped to specific RTI hours, OJT hours, assessment methods, and objective pass criteria. Full rubric documentation is maintained in the Competency Verification Matrix.
