National Apprenticeship Week (NAW)
National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is celebrating its 10th anniversary from November 17-23, 2024. Since NAW’s beginning in 2015, Registered Apprenticeship has flourished as a way to create the highly skilled workforce necessary to modernize our country’s infrastructure, build clean energy technologies, strengthen our cybersecurity defense ecosystem, and build a stronger care economy.
NAW is a nationwide celebration where employers, industry representatives, labor organizations, community-based organizations, workforce partners, educational institutions, and Federal, State, and Local government agencies host events to showcase the successes and value of Registered Apprenticeship.
Registered apprenticeships offer numerous benefits for both veterans and employers. They offer veterans the opportunity to gain paid work experience and a portable nationally-recognized credential. 90% of apprentices retain employment after completing an apprenticeship and make an average starting salary of $80,000.
Registered apprenticeships help businesses recruit a diverse and highly skilled workforce to create a pipeline of workers in a variety of industries. Registered Apprenticeships reduce turnover while improving productivity and profitability because businesses are able to retain top talent.
Join us as the U.S. Department of Labor highlights “National Apprenticeship Week 2024: Celebrating 10 Years of Engagement, Expansion, and Innovation.”
- Monday, November 18: Youth and Young Adult Apprenticeship Day
- Tuesday, November 19: Registered Apprenticeship in New and Emerging Industries and Around the Globe
- Wednesday, November 20: Expanding Registered Apprenticeship to Underserved Populations
- Thursday, November 21: Women in Apprenticeship
- Friday, November 22: Federal Apprenticeship and Veterans in Apprenticeship
We’d love to highlight how your organization is supporting our military connected community through apprenticeships. Tag DOL VETS on X or LinkedIn and use the hashtags #NAW2024, #ApprenticeshipUSA, and #DecadeofNAW.
We’re excited to celebrate NAW 2024, and we hope you are too. If your organization is interested in starting a Registered Apprenticeship program, reach out to one of our Regional Veteran Employment Coordinators today!
