Registered Apprenticeship as a Strategy for
Recruiting and Retention
Registered Apprenticeship offers a structured, competency-based approach to training workers. Offering apprenticeships can also help recruit and retain workers, and meet long-term workforce needs. This presentation will offer an overview of Registered Apprenticeship, and the value-add for both employers and workers. Presenters will walk through the steps to build a new apprenticeship program, and discuss state and local resources available to assist. There will be opportunity to ask questions, and share case studies of manufacturing apprenticeships from other parts of the state.
