Description

Apprenticeships have long been recognized as a vital resource for workforce development, and registered apprenticeships can provide your company with a trained workforce while simultaneously creating opportunities for individuals from historically excluded groups. By embedding DEIA principles into your Registered Apprenticeship programs, your company can experience enhanced productivity, reduced turnover, and a competitive edge in the market.

In this webinar, participants will gain valuable insights into effective strategies for recruiting, hiring, onboarding, retaining, and establishing clear career progression pathways for a diverse apprenticeship workforce. We will specifically focus on supporting apprentices from marginalized communities and groups underrepresented in solar and registered apprenticeship programs.

Moreover, we will delve into the essential components of Affirmative Action Plan requirements and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) regulations for Registered Apprenticeship programs. Our aim is to equip you with practical strategies and resources to not only meet these requirements but also exceed them in fostering DEIA within your apprenticeship programs effectively.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how you can power success in your company through DEIA in Registered Apprenticeships.
