Industrial Manufacturing Technician and Mechatronics
What is an Apprenticeship Program?
- An employer-driven model that combines on-the-job training with job related classroom
instruction
- Workers learn practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation – a
proven approach to prepare workers for careers while meeting employers’ need for a
highly-skilled workforce
- Apprentice’s skill level and wages progressively increase
- Apprentices receive a national, portable credential
Why Should a Company Partner with an Apprenticeship Program Sponsor?
- Are experienced employees aging out of the workforce?
- Is it challenging to attract new talent to entry-level jobs?
- Do you need a pipeline that enables entry-level workers to prepare for hard-to-fill
highly skilled jobs?
- Are new grads long on theory but short on applied skills?
- Striving for a workforce that can keep pace with changes in the industry?
- If you answer yes to any of these questions, then an apprenticeship program may be
a good for for your company!
