Through new federally supported national industry partnerships, cities can directly access expertise and resources to help them meet their hiring needs, including:
- Accelerated access to a new pipeline of candidates.
- Time saved by not having to design a program from scratch.
- Apprentice recruitment support, often focused on underrepresented populations.
- Information or direct access to funding to help offset the start-up or other costs of the apprenticeship.
- Simplified processes for setting up internal systems to manage and train apprentices.
- Mentor preparation and training.
- Access to organizations that can provide supportive services to apprentices.
- Enrollment in a program that is officially registered with the U. S. Department of Labor or a State Apprenticeship Agency.
