National Apprenticeship Week was established in 2015 to raise awareness of the meaningful contributions apprenticeship programs in the United States make to our country’s workforce.
Maryland will recognize National Apprenticeship Week November 13-17, 2017, to educate businesses and leaders on the importance of apprenticeship opportunities as successful business and workforce development tools, positively impacting our economy. This year’s theme is “Celebrate Maryland’s Workforce Revolution!”
The Maryland Department of Labor is participating in 12 events throughout Apprenticeship Week, including a networking breakfast with the Maryland Tech Council and TranZed Apprenticeship Services; an Apprenticeship Sponsor Appreciation Ceremony; an American Hotel and Lodging Association announcement; a Youth Apprenticeship Program announcement; and a skilled craft union open house. See the attached schedule for a complete list of events or visit Maryland Department of Labor’s website.
