National Apprenticeship Week is a nationwide celebration where ApprenticeshipUSA partners showcase the successes and value of Registered Apprenticeship for strengthening our economy through workforce development. Jackson College continues to develop new and innovative programs to meet workforce needs.
“The opportunity we have at Jackson College — through our apprenticeship programs, services, academic offerings, and custom training — to help both employers and students meet the evolving needs of the workforce, while empowering individuals to grow, learn, and achieve their career goals, is at the heart of what we do. We are committed to supporting both students and employers as they drive the success of our region’s economy and contribute to a thriving community. Michigan is proud to be one of the leading states in apprenticeship growth, and we look forward to continuing to contribute to that momentum through our programs and partnerships,” Dobbs said.
