Business Roundtable CEOs are working together to expand apprenticeships to help address their workforce needs and expand career pathways for more Americans. Apprenticeships provide opportunities for motivated, high-potential individuals to gain the required training and professional skills for successful careers. Apprenticeship programs also can help experienced workers pursuing a career change or re-entering the workforce gain new skills through paid, on-the-job training. In turn, companies that offer apprenticeship programs can benefit from tapping new sources of talent for roles that might normally require a specific degree or professional experience.
