National Apprenticeship Week is Coming! November 15 - 21
U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh has designated November 15 - 21 as 2021 National Apprenticeship Week (NAW), an annual event which has, for the past seven years, celebrated apprenticeship as a way of enabling workers to earn while they learn. Since its launch in 2015, NAW has prompted more than 5,000 events and 700 proclamations and has attracted upwards of 470,000 attendees across the country. This year’s celebration furthers the DOL’s commitment to President Biden’s infrastructure plan for creating jobs that will make America more competitive and expand opportunities to workers from marginalized communities.
Visit the NAW page on apprenticeship.gov for the latest resources, such as a NAW factsheet, mailer, and editable flyers. Please use the links provided there to register your events and proclamations, share the mailer, factsheet, and flyers with partners, and use #NAW2021 across social channels to share photos and proclamations – which will be linked to the Department’s social media. Finally, visit the Communities page on WorkforceGPS and check out the Apprenticeship-focused Communities to learn from your peers on how to implement successful Apprenticeship programs.
