Building a Sustainable Workforce Through Apprenticeships and the Integration of Advanced Technologies Webinar
October 20, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Across Illinois, manufacturers focus on building a sustainable workforce and integrating emerging advanced technology into the production process. Apprenticeship Illinois is helping fill open positions with registered apprenticeship training programs. The training provides a work-based learning environment while the apprentice earns an income and works towards a nationally recognized credential.
