The 10th Annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) will take place from November 17-23, 2024.
“NAW is a nationwide celebration where employers, industry representatives, labor organizations, community-based organizations, workforce partners, educational institutions, and Federal, State, and Local government agencies host events to showcase the successes and value of Registered Apprenticeship for strengthening our economy by developing a highly skilled workforce to meet industry needs, creating pathways for career seekers to catapult into good jobs, and advancing racial and gender equity. NAW gives Registered Apprenticeship sponsors the opportunity to showcase their programs, facilities, and apprentices in their community.
Additionally, NAW is the ideal platform to demonstrate the unifying power of the ApprenticeshipUSA ecosystem by uplifting examples of partnership and collaboration among national Registered Apprenticeship system partners, including employers, apprentices and graduates, community-based organizations, education and training providers, federal partners, industry associations, intermediaries, labor unions, State Apprenticeship Agencies, apprenticeship grantees and contractors, Apprenticeship Ambassadors, and U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) apprenticeship staff.”—U.S. Department of Labor
