Learn about the first Youth Apprenticeship Week (YAW), which takes place May 5-11, 2024, from Randy Copeland and Jeff Smith at the Office of Apprenticeship.
Building off the success of National Apprenticeship Week, Youth Apprenticeship Week is a nationwide celebration that highlights the benefits and value of Registered Apprenticeship program opportunities for youth, ages 16–24.
Employers, educators, labor unions, workforce professionals, and their partners across the country are launching Registered Apprenticeship programs that allow youth to earn competitive wages while obtaining the relevant training and experience to start their careers, often including the opportunity to earn college credit.
YAW is an opportunity for these stakeholders and others to increase awareness of these life-changing Registered Apprenticeship opportunities for youth and how they create a sustainable pipeline of skilled and diverse talent for critical industries. You will hear from Youth Apprentices Trailblazers on their Apprenticeship experience and learn how you can support YAW as well.
This training session is designed for Business Service Representatives (BSRs), Veterans’ Representatives, and other workforce professionals that engage directly with employers.
BSRs serve as industry’s critical point of contact with the public workforce system making them ideally positioned to present registered apprenticeship (RA) as a proven, critical component of an employers’ overall workforce development strategy and to promote the value of RA to employers.
Registered Apprenticeship is an ideal solution for many employers that are partners with workforce boards and American Job Centers. This online training opportunity will explore innovative ways that apprenticeship ties in with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) business services. It will also equip you to connect with and leverage the support of the apprenticeship system on behalf of employers.
By connecting intentionally and regularly with Apprenticeship Training Representatives (ATRs), WIOA business services can better engage employers, place candidates in well-paying RA employment, and increase positive WIOA performance metrics.
This first session in the ATR & BSR Training Series will feature how RA is structured and works in concert with the workforce system, recent initiatives, funding opportunities, partners, and how to speak to employers about RA.
