Apprenticeship PHL

Today's National Apprenticeship Week theme connects education to opportunity.

Meet the Apprenticeship Navigators: the people behind the work of connecting Philadelphia residents to registered apprenticeship opportunities across construction, healthcare, technology, and more.

Here is what they have to say about why this work matters:

"Apprenticeship is truly an effective model to become trained and skilled in an occupation... it leads to a family-sustaining career." — Robert E. Gannone

"If someone is going to be charged with developing, monitoring and sustaining apprenticeship programs, the Navigator program is a must do." — Jennifer Rawson
