This Week Is National Apprenticeship Week

During the week of November 2, the U.S. Department of Labor and apprenticeship leaders nationwide will celebrate the first annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW). NAW is an opportunity for the national apprenticeship community to share its pride in using the registered apprenticeship model to train U.S. workers.

National Apprenticeship Week is your chance to raise awareness, promote the value of apprenticeship, and celebrate the innovative and effective strategies being used around the country to train workers in all industries. The week also serves as an opportunity for those in business, industry, and education, as well as career seekers, community-based organizations, students, and workers to learn about the advantages of apprenticeship.
