APTITUDE software smoothly integrates the management of all information from initial application, through your full apprenticeship training program, with continued tracking of advanced skills for journeymen.

Originally developed for building trades apprentice programs, APTITUDE has now been expanded for use in a wide range of training programs, both union and employer-managed. APTITUDE will:

• Free up staff time so you can focus on managing your training programs, not your data.
• Provide easy access to individual and aggregate information and powerful controls over how data is made available.
• Give controlled online access to apprentices, contractors, trainers and administrators.
• Expand your system's capabilities as your programs grow and evolve.

Valuable Features of APTITUDE Software

Access up-to-date information for apprentices and trainees

• Allows easy access to course information, requirements, schedules and registration
• Assures timely receipt of reminder notices for scheduled trainings or skills upgrade sessions as well as deadlines and class changes
• Allows training directors to post class offerings and discussion materials in an online bulletin format.

Comprehensive profile and history of each apprentice's training and employment records

• Includes dates of training sessions and outcomes, as well as employment history and dates of unemployment.
• Provides pay rates and dues changes which can be customized for your training programs.
• Allows apprentices to go online to update personal information and enter work reports.

Easy management of employer/contractor information

Flexibility and ease-of-use

• Integrates with Microsoft Office to allow you to create your own form letters and reports.
• Flexible configuration options, including complete turnkey version with on-site installation and data conversion.
• Training provided for day-to-day use. For those who need more independence, we have developed our own APTITUDE-friendly class for ad hoc reporting and data usage.

Customization options in compiled reports and data exports

• Report requirements may vary widely for district or international union bodies, for industry training programs, joint programs, or government monitoring agencies.

APTITUDE software can be customized to provide data transfer to organizations with specific reporting requirements.
