Lunch and Learn - The Hire Smart, Train Up, Grow Fast: The Power of Apprenticeships

September 23, 2025 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Join us for an engaging in-person Lunch and Learn to discover how apprenticeships can accelerate business growth while making a positive social impact. In this session we will spotlight marketing and tech apprenticeships—covering Digital Marketing, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, and more—to help you hire smart, train up, and scale fast. Learn about tapping into a skilled, ready-to-work talent pool, potential salary funding, and tax credits—all while contributing to workforce development in your community.  

**Lunch provided. This event will be held in-person only and will not have a virtual option, nor will it be recorded for later viewing.

Key Takeaways:

  • Talent Sourcing, mentorship, and formal training programs, resulting in improved retention and ROI for their businesses. 
  • Targeted Screening: Apprenticeship assessments vet candidates for technical skills and job readiness, ensuring a better role fit.
  • Improved Alignment & Retention: On-the-job training matches candidates to job needs, enhancing skills and long-term retention.
  • Higher ROI: Apprenticeships cut hiring costs, lower turnover, and build a stable, productive workforce.
