Pre-Apprenticeships: Building Strong Apprentices
About
Quality Pre-Apprenticeship programs that lead to Registered Apprenticeship not only build the basic literacy, math, and work-readiness skills today’s employers require, but also provide pre-screened, qualified, and job-ready apprentice pools. The programs also help workers begin a pathway to a career and can be especially helpful in preparing all candidates including underrepresented populations to obtain and successfully complete Registered Apprenticeship Programs.
