Registered Apprenticeship is an industry-driven method of developing high-quality talent for your business. It is a model of training that blends technical instruction with on-the-job training under the supervision of a mentor and is the gold standard for “earn and learn” experiences. Employers develop and prepare their future workforce within the context of the specific needs of their own business, and apprentices obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and industry-issued, nationally recognized credentials. Almost any occupation can utilize the apprenticeship model and Workforce Partnership’s team can assist employers in creating the standards and work processes needed to formalize the program and help register the program in Kansas. Registering your apprenticeship program is valuable as it not only unlocks potential funding resources for the employer to offset costs, but it also ensures the apprentice of the quality of the program and the commitment of the employer.

Is your business interested in developing a quality talent pipeline? Does your business already utilize on-the-job training but would like to create a more formal training structure for new hires? Does your business suffer from high turnover and poor employee retention? Registered Apprenticeship might be a terrific option for you! You can learn more about the basics of apprenticeship on the Kansas Office of Apprenticeship website. Contact our Apprenticeship Manager for an exploratory conversation.
