Join us for a powerful morning of community, celebration, and workforce impact as part of National Apprenticeship Week (NAW), a nationwide event that highlights the value of Registered Apprenticeship in strengthening America’s economy and expanding career pathways.

National Apprenticeship Week is a national celebration convened by the U.S. Department of Labor where employers, apprentices, industry leaders, educators, workforce partners, and government agencies come together to showcase the success and value of apprenticeship programs in developing a highly skilled, diverse workforce.

This event is a perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate the role apprenticeships play in driving business success and growing career opportunities in high-demand industries.

Be part of the movement to elevate apprenticeship as a key strategy for workforce development and innovation!
