A proud partner of the American Job Center Network
Why should you have a Registered Apprenticeship?
Registered Apprenticeships are an industry-driven model proven to attract, train, and retain a highly skilled workforce.
- Registered apprenticeships increase productivity for companies and reduce turnover costs.
- According to US Department of Labor statistics, 91% of apprentices remain on the job one year after employment and report high levels of loyalty and motivation.
- Build the right training model and create flexible options that ensure workers develop the right skills.
