Apprenticeships are usually associated with carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, machining, masonry, and other hands-on trades. However, a growing number of employers in finance, IT, hospitality, health care, and other fields are turning to apprenticeships to close the skills gap that has left so many important positions unfilled. Companies such as Adobe, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, LinkedIn, JPMorgan Chase, Amazon, Dow Chemical Company, Salesforce Software, Peterson Automotive Collection, and CVS Health have already invested in apprenticeship programs. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f837be0f08b351a6a3ed104/t/5f91b2771cf21442d65a2dfc/1603383950705/AdobeStock_339549806.jpeg Home - After decades of pushing bachelor’s degrees, U.S. needs more tradespeople “All throughout high school, they made it sound like going to college was our only option.” — Derrick Roberson, in training to become an electrician According to the Georgetown center, the United States has 30 million jobs that pay an average of $55,000 per year and do not require a bachelor’s degree.
