Is an Apprenticeship Program Right for My Business?

Registered Apprenticeships allow employers to develop workers for specific occupations while preparing their businesses for future workforce needs and growth.

Consider whether any of these questions apply to your company:

• Do you need a more skilled workforce?
• Do you want to expand or diversify your talent pool?
• Do your employees need new skills to keep pace with changes in your industry?
• Are experienced workers retiring or leaving, creating skills gaps?
• Do you have occupations that could benefit from structured on-the-job training?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, a Registered Apprenticeship program may be a good fit for your business.
