For Employers

Apprenticeships are widely known in construction and union-based trades; however, apprenticeships are NOT a union-only training model! Apprenticeships can be found across the nation in almost any sector of work. The U.S. Department of Commerce says, “The skilled trades that support our nation’s construction industry still represent the core of American apprenticeships, but many other industries, like healthcare and information technology (IT), are adopting apprenticeships to create a skilled workforce for jobs they cannot otherwise fill easily, if at all.”

Leveraging apprenticeships as part of the recruiting tools can speed up the time it takes for employers to hire employees and positively impact long-term retention. Apprenticeships can also allow employers to increase internal recruiting by providing a structured career pathway based on merit and documented achievement. Apprenticeship has 5 core pillars: W2 Employment of the Apprentice with Graduated Pay Based on Programmatic Skill Gains, On-the-Job Training (OJT), Related Technical Instruction (RTI), On-The-Job Mentoring, and Achieving a National Occupation Credential upon completion.

Many companies already offer their employees educational and skills development pathways, meaning your company could already be offering a program that would be eligible for apprenticeship tax credits if those programs were registered.
