Registered apprenticeships for employers

Apprentices are employees who earn wages while they learn, combining paid on-the-job training with structured instruction. This model enables employers to develop talent tailored to their specific needs—whether by training new hires or advancing the skills of current employees—while improving retention, productivity, and long-term workforce stability.

• Build Your Talent Pipeline: Develop a consistent, reliable source of skilled workers trained to meet your exact business needs.
• Reduce Hiring and Turnover Costs: Increase productivity and retain employees longer by investing in structured, career-driven training.
• Improve Quality and Consistency: Ensure employees are trained to industry standards through a structured, competency-based model.
• Increase Employee Retention and Engagement: Offer clear career pathways that improve attendance, morale, and long-term commitment.
• Strengthen Your Brand as an Employer of Choice: Position your organization as a leader in workforce development and high-quality employment opportunities.

• Identify your workforce needs: Complete the employer interest form and start working with DAS to determine which roles could benefit from registered apprenticeship.
• Attend a workshop: Join a brief Introduction to Registered Apprenticeship or Introduction to Pre-Apprenticeship webinar to understand program structure and expectations.
• Design your program: Meet one-on-one with an Apprenticeship Liaison to build a customized program, including training plans, mentorship, wage progression, and instruction.
