90-Day Trucking Apprenticeship Challenge

The 90-Day Trucking Apprenticeship Challenge increased the supply of truck drivers by creating new pathways into the profession through Registered Apprenticeship and laying the foundation for improving job quality to keep people in the profession. In just 90 days, nearly 800 organizations and career seekers connected with DOL to explore how Registered Apprenticeship can help meet critical supply chain needs. We also cut the amount of time it takes to launch a program to as little as 48 hours, which has nearly doubled the number of trucking apprenticeship programs nationwide.

How Can Your Organization Get Involved?

While the 90-Day Trucking Apprenticeship Challenge has ended, your organization can still benefit from the apprenticeship model as a workforce strategy in trucking. 

Employers and labor partners can:

• Sign onto existing apprenticeship programs or start new ones.
• Grow or replicate existing apprenticeship programs across markets.

Industry associations can:

• Engage your members to sign on to existing national apprenticeship programs.
• Identify and work with interested members to develop new pilot programs.
• Develop and sponsor a new, association-level apprenticeship program for your members.
