In honor of the 85th Anniversary of the National Apprenticeship Act, the U.S. Department of Labor is hosting the 8th Annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW). NAW is a nationwide celebration established by the U.S. Department of Labor where industry, labor, equity, workforce, education, and government leaders host events to showcase the successes and value of Registered Apprenticeship for rebuilding our economy, advancing racial and gender equity, building a pipeline to good, quality jobs, and supporting underserved communities.
NAW is an opportunity to highlight how Registered Apprenticeship, a proven and industry-driven training model, provides a critical talent pipeline that can help to address some of our nation’s pressing workforce challenges such as rebuilding our country’s infrastructure, addressing critical supply chain demands, supporting a clean energy workforce, modernizing our cybersecurity response, and responding to care economy issues.
During NAW events, apprentices also have a platform to share their apprenticeship experience and how it has transformed their lives
The Rural Workforce Academy will participate with a week worth of impactful events.
Please save the dates and join us as we celebrate with our theme
