Apprenticeship Business Engagement Tools

Apprenticeships play an important role in preparing workers for successful and sustainable careers. This set of three tools, created by the U.S. Department of Labor, provides guidance on developing and expanding apprenticeship programs that can engage potential new workers. Within the toolkit are Strategies in Action, which provides examples of how apprenticeship programs can be promoted and address organizational challenges in their design; Talking to Businesses, which gives guidance on how to speak the employers’ language when engaging with potential and participating employers; and a Business Engagement Quick Guide, which outlines three phases of working successfully with employers towards the goal of apprenticeship.
