Collaborate with Us
Are you a state or national organization charged with expanding apprenticeships?
In 2022 tech employment grew by
3.2%
nationally, adding an estimated 286,400 workers.
More than 9 million people work in tech-related jobs, including for tech and non-tech companies. Most employers are hiring for new positions in tech, but are encountering a challenge in finding candidates with the skills they need.
- Apprenticeships provide a path for both career success and academic achievement.
- Employers across industries are using the apprenticeship model to address skills gaps and increase employee retainment.
Employee Retention
Employers report that they retain over 90% of apprentice graduates and that hosting apprentices increases employee morale. The appeal for apprentices is that they earn a wage and gain education while taking on little to no student debt.
