Registered Apprenticeship is poised to meet the demands of the 21st century workforce. Registered Apprenticeship is education and training that allows businesses to respond immediately to rapidly changing economic conditions-including the need for skilled workers in many industries. Registered Apprenticeship trains more workers for high-skilled, high-wage careers than any other public workforce investment program in the nation, and at a fraction of the cost.
Registered Apprenticeship is a critical post-secondary education, training and employment option available in every state in the USA. It is an important talent development strategy for businesses because it is business and industry driven. Kansas Registered Apprenticeship includes nearly 300 programs with 1,500 employers and 2,000 registered apprentices in such industries as advanced manufacturing, construction, transportation, health care, energy, child care, hospitality, military and government. Additional programs may be developed in biotechnology, transportation, automotive, homeland security and retail.
Full collaboration between the publicly funded workforce, education and training systems and Registered Apprenticeship leverages each system’s strengths to maximize the benefits with regional talent development strategies. Come see how Registered Apprenticeship can benefit you!
