Join us May 6th for a presentation by Karla Talanian and Dan Weagle on working with Apprenti to set up registered apprenticeships. Description: There is great enthusiasm for the Registered Apprenticeship model of workforce development. However, designing a Registered Apprenticeship de novo requires multiple skill sets that, collectively, can be quite challenging. Currently there is no mechanism for ensuring consistency in design or implementation across state lines, thus apprentices trained in one state may receive different education & training than those in another, even if they are destined ...
