Equal Employment Opportunity in Registered Apprenticeship
Registered Apprenticeship is a powerful tool for growing the American economy and training its workforce and is a proven method to help employers build diversity and inclusion in their workplaces. The U.S. Department of Labor has in place an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) regulation for Registered Apprenticeship Programs to help businesses reach a larger and more diverse pool of workers. When all qualified individuals, including women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities, have the opportunity to become apprentices, we tap into our nation’s full potential and open new career pathways for American workers.
