Apprenticeship Programs

Apprenticeships have been used for many years to train new employees in specialized trades like shipbuilding and electrical work.

Now, employers in diverse industries are starting up apprenticeship programs as a way to attract quality people to their businesses.

In these “We’re Here to Help” videos, listen as CareerSource Northeast Florida Apprenticeship Navigator Doreen Lund explains how apprenticeships work and how she can help employers both fund and set up their first apprenticeship programs – and why job seekers should consider this great ‘earn while you learn’ alternative to the traditional four-year college degree.

Apprenticeships are quickly GROWING in popularity in all industries.

Leaders at the state and federal levels are promoting this proven model to help employers attract and retain competent workers and assist job seekers with higher-level training without college debt. 

With over 17,000 apprentices and 300 registered programs in Florida alone, we look forward to continuing to grow this model on the First Coast.

Some employer benefits:

• Improved employee loyalty and retention, less turnover

• Positive ROI – average $1.50 return for every $1 invested
• Quality Assurance through industry certifications
• Employer led – custom training for your organization
