Module 2: Who’s Who in the World of Apprenticeship
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOL) plays a pivotal role in championing Apprenticeship Programs. DOL serves as a blueprint for implementing and executing the advancement of Apprenticeship Programs. To bolster effectiveness as Apprenticeship Ambassadors, the focus extends to assessing and enhancing knowledge, fostering confidence in articulating the merits and opportunities associated with apprenticeship. In doing so, Ambassadors strategically use an elevator pitch to amplify awareness, understanding, and advocacy for the transformative potential of apprenticeship programs.
