Why should you build an Apprenticeship Program?

Registered Apprenticeship is a proven workforce development strategy which results in:

  1. Dependable staff
  2. Low attrition rates
  3. Increased productivity

Breakdown of a Registered Apprenticeship Program: Related Instruction in a classroom environment, hands-on experience through On-the-Job Training, and progressive wage schedules to incentivize retention.

To Create a Program: Fill out a pre-application and contact an Apprenticeship Training Representative at ApprenticeshipLa@lwc.la.gov. From there, we’ll set up a meeting with you, explain the application procedure, and work with you to develop your Standards of Apprenticeship to be reviewed before the State Apprenticeship Council.

The Business Case: Registered Apprenticeship is a flexible workforce strategy that can be tailored to your needs. This program model has been proven to yield higher productivity rates and create a steady pipeline of proficient workers to fill the retirement gap.
