Registered Apprenticeship in the Public Sector
About
Public sector apprenticeship programs can help governments “lead by example” as agencies at the local, state, and federal levels seek to expand the use of apprenticeship in emerging industries. Additionally, apprenticeship programs can help address a shortage of young workers seeking employment in the public sector.
In the United States, there are public sector apprenticeship programs across a diverse range of occupations, such as teachers, public safety roles (such as police and firefighters), professional services (such as finance or IT), and skilled trades (such as building maintenance and HVAC).
