Myth Busters for Job Seekers


Myth: Apprenticeship is an outdated training model that only serves a select group of the population.

Busted: In the United States today, some 37,000 program sponsors, representing over a quarter million employers, industries and companies offer registered apprenticeship training to approximately 440,000 apprentices. These training programs serve a diverse population, which includes minorities, women, youth and dislocated workers.
