Greetings!

Registered Apprenticeship programs are uniquely able to meet the changing demands of the rapidly emerging digitally dependent economy and provide a path for all qualified individuals, including women, youth, people of color, rural communities, and individuals with disabilities, to become apprentices and contribute to America’s industries. Registered Apprenticeship is a proven employer-driven training model that provides a critical talent pipeline to train and upbuild the U.S. workforce to address our nation’s pressing issues. Diversity, equity, and inclusion can be achieved by implementing this strategy in companies across the U.S. Consider becoming an employer partner with our team. ~ Pastor Keith Davis
