SUMMARY:Our First Youth Apprenticeship Week
DESCRIPTION:National Apprenticeship Week begins today and will run until Friday\, November 19th. It’s a nationwide celebration that brings together employers\, industry associations\, labor organizations\, community-based organizations\, workforce partners\, education providers\, and government leaders to raise awareness of the vital role of Registered Apprenticeship. \nThis year\, the theme of National Apprenticeship Week is “Registered Apprenticeship: Superhighway to Good Jobs.” It recognizes the importance of Registered Apprenticeship as a proven\, industry-driven career pathway leading to good\, quality jobs and financially rewarding careers in diverse industry sectors. Registered Apprenticeship is a crucial strategy to meet our nation’s workforce needs in critical industries such as education\, advanced manufacturing\, healthcare\, clean energy\, cybersecurity\, and other high-needs sectors. It is also a model that fast-tracks a person’s journey into good-paying jobs and can improve diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and accessibility in the workplace. \nThroughout this week\, we will highlight the success and value of Registered Apprenticeship by focusing on a range of daily themes\, including Registered Apprenticeship for Youth\, Registered Apprenticeship in New and Emerging Industries\, Expanding Registered Apprenticeship to Underserved Populations\, Women in Registered Apprenticeship\, and Registered Apprenticeship for Veterans and Federal Employees. \nEarlier today\, Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su announced the selection of the initial cohort of 57 youth apprentices and recent graduates chosen to serve as Apprentice Trailblazers. These young people will share their perspectives and highlight how Registered Apprenticeships increase opportunities for underserved populations. We also announced the first annual Youth Apprenticeship Week\, which will be held from May 5-11\, 2024. This initiative highlights the benefits and value of Registered Apprenticeship programs for people aged 16-24. \nThroughout the week\, events will spotlight how historically underrepresented and underserved populations\, such as women\, people of color\, people with disabilities\, and young adults\, can unleash their potential through pre-apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship. We invite you to join us at one of the hundreds of events nationwide during National Apprenticeship Week. Please stay connected with us on social media by following @USDOL and using the hashtags #NAW2023 and #ApprenticeshipUSA. We’ll be sharing exciting updates and insights throughout the week. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the hosts of these events and the partners who’ve shown their support by signing numerous proclamations in favor of Registered Apprenticeship and its power to change lives.

SUMMARY:Ophthalmic Apprenticeship in Wisconsin Responds to Growing Need
DESCRIPTION:Eye care is one of the many areas of the health sector that is struggling with a personnel shortage. The number of practicing ophthalmologists in the U.S. has been trending downward since the 1990s while the demand for doctors and technicians in the field is increasing. \n\n\nIn Madison\, Wisconsin\, SSM Health and Madison College responded to this growing need by establishing the state’s first Ophthalmic Assistant Registered Apprenticeship program to train up to seven students every year. Launched in 2023\, the program is a partnership between SSM Health\, Madison College\, and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards. \nParticipants receive classroom instruction at Madison College and simultaneous on-the-job training at SSM Health eye care clinics. Clinical training continues for another nine months after classroom-based learning concludes. SSM Health pays the apprentices a salary and benefits as well as covering the cost of tuition\, program materials\, and the certified ophthalmic assistant exam. After completing the program\, the students work as ophthalmic assistants with SSM Health\, with a minimum two-year commitment. \n“Wisconsin continues to expand apprenticeships serving in-demand industries throughout the state\,” said David Polk\, Director of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development’s Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards. \nThe Ophthalmic Assistant program is an indication of the increasing interest in non-traditional apprenticeship pathways\, as businesses in many sectors seek new ways to expand their talent pools. The Department of Labor (DOL) hopes to encourage this trend. It has proposed new regulations (29 CFR part 29) that aim to expand Registered Apprenticeships beyond their traditional niche in construction and manufacturing into new industries such as medicine\, education\, and tech.
