Addressing the shortage requires strategies to build talent for the evolving economy and engage untapped talent pools. Registered Apprenticeships are a proven tactic to develop a skilled workforce. Apprenticeships offer workers income while they learn and create a steady talent pipeline for employers.
An analysis of the CareerWise Colorado youth apprenticeship program found that 64 percent of youth successfully transitioned to postsecondary education, employment or both after completing an apprenticeship program.
