With a network of over 150,000 employers in more than 1,000 occupations, apprenticeship is developing a new generation of workers to help our nation succeed in the 21st-century economy.

Apprenticeship programs help employers: 

  • Recruit and develop a highly-skilled workforce that helps grow their business 

  • Improve productivity, profitability, and an employer’s bottom line 

  • Create flexible training options that ensure workers develop the right skills 

  • Minimize liability costs through appropriate training of workers 

  • Receive tax credits and employee tuition benefits in participating states

  • Increase retention of workers, during and following the apprenticeship.
