The week of November 14 - 20, 2016 has been designated as the second annual National Apprenticeship Week.

"Apprenticeships are experiencing a modern renaissance in America because the earn-while-learn model is a win-win proposition for workers looking to punch their ticket to the middle-class and for employers looking to grow and thrive in our modern global economy.”     — U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez

Governor Bill Walker has proclaimed November 14-20 as "Alaska Apprenticeship Week."  Please visit the state website to read the proclamation or download it in PDF here.



Watch Workforce Wednesday on November 16 for a feature about Registered Apprenticeship in Alaska.
