How apprenticeships can help employers

Companies in all sectors of the American economy are facing complex workforce challenges in increasingly competitive domestic and global markets. Registered Apprenticeship is your proven solution for recruiting, training, and retaining world-class talent.

Helps recruit and develop a highly skilled workforce

Reduce Employee Turnover

When you create the training environment, you know that you will be developing future employees. They will be trained using your methods and on your equipment, creating a culture of learning and cooperation that leads to higher retention rates.

Increase Productivity

Prepare for the increasing minimum wage by improving the skills and productivity of your workforce. Apprentices are a worthwhile investment of your time. Employers that create and encourage registered apprenticeships typically report higher productivity, higher retention rates, and a substantial return on their investment.
