Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott has officially proclaimed Apprenticeship Week for the State of Vermont, November 17, 2024, to November 23, 2024.
“I’m so proud of the emphasis we’ve put on the value of trades careers, and have invested to help more Vermonters pursue careers through trades training, Career Technical Education and apprenticeships,” said Governor Phil Scott. “This work is essential to making sure we have a strong workforce, and create rewarding career opportunities for students and adults.”
Apprenticeship Week is an opportunity to celebrate the evolving impact of registered apprenticeship programs on Vermont’s workforce and economy. These programs follow an “earn while you learn” model, allowing individuals to gain hands-on experience and technical training while earning a paycheck.
“Registered Apprenticeship programs are critical to expanding Vermont’s workforce,” said Labor Commissioner Michael Harrington. “This model not only offers individuals a direct path to meaningful and sustainable careers, but it also provides employers with a pipeline of skilled and motivated talent to address workforce gaps.”
During Apprenticeship Week, the Department of Labor will celebrate the benefits of apprenticeships, their role in workforce development, and the opportunities they offer to employers and job seekers.
