Apprenticeship programs gain momentum

(May 09, 2018, BALTIMORE, Md.)  Maryland’s future workforce is on track.

According to the Department of Labor, five active sponsors for its apprenticeship programs have joined the initiative, raising the number of registered programs in the state by 20 percent since 2015.

Signed-on sponsors will contribute to a curriculum geared towards a span of instruction predominantly focusing on mechanical and cyber arenas.

“Apprenticeships offer job seekers the chance to learn new skills while earning a wage, and employers the opportunity to build their workforce while reducing turnover costs,” Kelly M. Schulz, state labor secretary, said in the announcement.
