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

Provides opportunities for tax credits and employee tuition benefits in some states
Reduces turnover costs & increases employee retention
Creates industry-driven and flexible training solutions to meet national and local needs

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.

Employers are the foundation of every apprenticeship program and play an active role in building programs and identifying employee skill gaps.

Pay workers as productivity increases

Apprentices receive progressive wage increases through the apprenticeship program as skill benchmarks are attained.

Related instruction

Apprentices receive structured training and coursework at community colleges, technical schools, and/or apprenticeship training schools.
