Information for Employers

Employers everywhere are discovering a smarter way to build and customize their workforce by investing in a new type of employee. These men and women come from all walks of life. They are motivated from within. They aren’t just looking for a job, they aren’t just seeking training. They want to start their career with your business today. They are looking to fill roles in manufacturing, healthcare, education, information technologies, public safety, industry, and business. They want to learn from an expert like you as they pursue their passion, and help you grow your bottom line.

You might call this type of employee ambitious, you might call them a self-starter, but we call them an apprentice.
