Signing apprenticeship agreements used to require generating the form in Apprentix, downloading it, and obtaining a wet signature. While the manual process is still available, you can now complete the entire process digitally inside Apprentix—saving time, reducing errors, and keeping everything in one place.
Step 1: Add a New Apprentice
Go to the People section in Apprentix.
Click Add Member.
Enter the apprentice’s details (name, apprenticeship start date, etc.).
When asked “Do you want to allow the apprentice to digitally sign the Apprenticeship Agreement?” select Yes to enable digital signing.
If you select No, you’ll use the manual option (via the three-dot menu).
Submit the apprentice’s information to begin onboarding.
Step 2: Apprentice Onboarding
Once added, the apprentice receives an email to set up their Apprentix account.
They will:
Set a Password → using the secure link in the email
Complete Profile → name, birthday, phone, address, emergency contact, demographics
Review & Sign → after saving their profile, they are directed to the Apprenticeship Agreement
Step 3: Digital Signing Process
The Apprenticeship Agreement (Form 671) is automatically generated with pre-filled details.
A progress bar shows the form is being prepared.
The apprentice reviews the completed form and signs it by typing their name and clicking “Sign.”
Step 4: After Signing
Once signed:
The apprentice sees a confirmation screen.
A fully executed agreement is emailed to:
The apprentice
Program Admins
Program Sponsor
The email includes:
Confirmation that the form was signed
Apprentice’s name and occupation
The signed ETA-671 with:
Apprentice’s signature and date
Sponsor representative’s signature
Employer representative’s signature
A copy is automatically stored in Apprentix under Documents → Filed.
Key Benefits of Digital Signing
Faster: No more chasing wet signatures—sponsor and employer approvals are recorded in the platform.
Convenient: Everyone automatically receives a signed copy by email.
Compliant: Agreements are stored in Apprentix and can be uploaded directly to RAPIDS or saved for audits.
Manual Option (Still Available)
If you prefer to use the traditional process:
Add the apprentice without selecting digital signing.
Go to the apprentice’s profile.
Click the three-dot menu → Generate Apprenticeship Agreement.
Download the form and collect wet signatures manually.
✅ With digital signing, you save time, improve accuracy, and ensure every agreement is stored securely for compliance.
