November 13-19 was National Apprenticeship Week!
New York State's Registered Apprenticeship Program is one of the largest such programs in the nation, with more than 17,000 registered apprentices participating in approximately 900 different programs across the state.
Registered apprenticeships offer a critical pathway for New Yorkers to become highly trained skilled workers and gain access to quality career opportunities. Registered Apprentices “earn while they learn”, gaining valuable hands-on work experience, and participating in related classroom instruction, all while earning a paycheck.
November 13-19 is National Apprenticeship Week, a nationwide celebration where employers, industry associations, labor organizations, community-based organizations, workforce partners, education providers, and government leaders host events to showcase the successes and value of Registered Apprenticeship. Apprenticeships are instrumental in re-building our economy, advancing racial and gender equity, building a pipeline to good quality jobs, and supporting underserved communities.
We shared the following video with job seekers across the state, to highlight what this amazing program can do to help them find a job in a field they love!
