Building a Stronger Workforce Through Apprenticeship
Explore how registered apprenticeship programs can help your organization develop talent, strengthen workforce pipelines, and support long-term growth.

During this session, you’ll learn:
- How registered apprenticeship programs support workforce development and retention
- Ways employers are using apprenticeship to deliver intentional, skills-based training
- Real-world insights from an apprenticeship champion on measurable workplace impact
- Practical advantages of registered apprenticeship, including:
- Expanded federal and state tax credits
- Nationally recognized U.S. Department of Labor credentials

Manufacturing HR professionals are strongly encouraged to invite their Plant Manager, Training Manager, Quality Manager, and/or Manufacturing Manager to attend, as this session offers valuable insights for both HR and operational leadership.
