About Registered Apprenticeship
Employers can register and post opportunities online through PA CareerLink®.
Apprenticeship programs are designed by employers, workforce development organizations and labor unions to train workers for in-demand jobs. The programs are highly specialized and help meet the unique needs of a specific job.
Registered apprenticeship program outcomes:
- Filling vacancies that couldn't be filled due to skills gaps
- Attracting a broader range of candidates
- Diversifying your workforce
- Increasing productivity
- Ensuring knowledge and experience of older workers is transferred to the next generation of workers
Only registered apprenticeship programs are eligible for support services and grant funding through the Department of Labor & Industry, as well as certain federal funding programs, like the GI Bill.
