It is with much excitement that Job Service North Dakota is celebrating National Apprenticeship week by hosting a student-centered Virtual Apprenticeship Expo! We cordially invite you and your students to attend our event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT; 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. MT on November 17, 2022.
Industry driven Apprenticeship programs create high-quality career pathways for individuals to obtain paid work experiences, classroom instruction, and a portable, recognized credential. Throughout North Dakota, employers with Registered Apprenticeships and Unions who provide training for apprentices will be hosting booths with the option for watching videos, sharing resources, and interacting 1:1 with students.
Early, targeted career exposure is essential for preparing students for the workforce and this event is a great opportunity for your students to learn more about apprenticeships and the opportunities available to them.
