In today’s workforce, apprenticeships bridge hands-on work experience with classroom instruction, preparing workers for high-demand careers. This underutilized model of workforce development blends paid on-the-job training and structured skills development across a variety of industries, resulting in higher skill competency and improved job retention. The latest data from the U.S. Department of Labor reveals that more than 636,000 active apprentices are registered across the country, signaling a spike of about 70 percent in the past decade.
