Join the U.S. Department of Labor to kick off National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) 2026 with a landmark National Signing Day Ceremony! This event celebrates the expansion of industry-driven Registered Apprenticeship programs and highlights the commitment of America's employers to building a highly skilled workforce for the future. 

This ceremony is a key part of our national effort to create more pathways to secure, high-paying jobs and help propel us toward our goal of one million apprentices. 

Held at the U.S. Department of Labor headquarters, the event will feature remarks from Administration officials and industry leaders. The format will include an official signing of new Registered Apprenticeship standards with several employer partners, followed by an insightful fireside chat. 

This is a unique opportunity to see firsthand how Registered Apprenticeship programs are strengthening our nation's economy and creating career opportunities for American workers.
