Employers and Workers Benefit From Registered Apprenticeship Program
U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Registered Apprenticeships are a proven workforce development strategy including on the job training with related technical instruction. Employers who utilize apprentices report higher productivity and retention rates in addition to a substantial return on investment. Apprentices have full-time sustainable income, education without hefty debt, and receive a national credential once the program is completed. Northwest Michigan Works! coordinates Registered Apprenticeships in the region. Watch the video to find out how the program is helping employers and apprentices.
Our Township greatly benefits from Network Northwest's experience, depth of knowledge and understanding. Because they work with so many diverse communities in our ten-county region they understand the local land-use issues and are already working on solutions by the time we realize we need some help.
