Join the Urban Institute, Jobs for the Future, the Council of State Governments, and Safal Partners during National Apprenticeship Week to celebrate the US Department of Labor's transformative investments that made Registered Apprenticeships more transparent, inclusive, and accessible for employers. This event will highlight the critical work of the Registered Apprenticeship Technical Assistance Centers of Excellence over the past four years and set the stage for the essential work ahead to modernize the system.

Employers, industry associations, labor, and public officials will come together to learn about the National Apprenticeship System’s evolution and share their vision of advancing registered apprenticeships by 2030. The Centers will discuss system changes since 2021, including streamlining program development, DEIA enhancements, modernizing data collection, and establishing strategic workforce partnerships. Invited government and apprenticeship leaders will also share state innovations and their vision for the future of registered apprenticeship.
