Opportunity: Apprenticeship
A proven model for rapid, right-skills development and talent retention through demonstrated employer commitment to workers!
RESOURCES
For Employers
Registered apprenticeship is a successful talent development strategy for any industry. From those traditionally associated with apprenticeship like construction and manufacturing, to those with an emerging interest in apprenticeships like healthcare and IT, Registered Apprenticeship is a high-value investment with benefits for both employers and workers.
For Apprentices
Registered apprenticeships are a great way to gain skills and credentials, get on-the-job experience, and begin a lasting career with no student debt. Registered Apprenticeships meet national standards held by the U.S. Department of Labor (or federal recognized State Apprenticeship Agencies), so the skills gained in Registered Apprenticeship are recognized by employers across the country.
