Apprenti is your key to hiring smart

Quality talent is your company’s greatest asset. Apprenti offers a new approach to filling the talent gap through an innovative tech apprenticeship model.

Benefits & Requirements

Apprenti streamlines the screening process for hiring the diverse tech talent your company needs.

Diversity

Apprenti is focusing on increasing diversity. About 50% of current apprentices are women, 54% are minorities, and 20% are veterans. With an average age of 30, they bring a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to help them make the leap to tech careers

Pre-Screened Talent

Apprenti recruits candidates who demonstrate aptitude for tech occupations. Apprenti staff pre-screen highly ranked candidates via phone and in-person before bringing the best to your company for interview. Companies choose their apprentices based on aptitude and cultural fit.

Trained & Tested Professionals

Apprentices receive two to five months of accelerated occupational training prior to beginning on-the-job training. Companies train apprentices on the specific skills they need to drive results for your organization.

Compliance

Apprenti handles all state and federal registration and reporting so you don’t have to. You simply assign someone to supervise the apprentice who has been in a similar job for at least two years. Apprenti will gather periodic feedback from the company and manager to monitor progress and satisfaction.

Retention

Your company can extend full-time offers to the fully trained apprentices once their apprenticeship is complete or as early as six months; however, retention is not required.

Cost Savings

Registered apprentice salaries are 60% of market rate, offsetting your investment in on-the-job training. A one-time increase to 70% of market rate is provided at 6 months based on improved proficiency. Save on recruitment costs! Your company pays a one-time placement fee of $2,500 per apprentice.

Hiring Partner Testimonials

“The Apprenti program is of great benefit to us. We hardly ever find technically qualified candidates for our positions, so we end up training them ourselves. Apprenti not only takes care of the formal training and certifications, but most importantly brought us a fully vetted candidate with great attitude and motivation. That is worth more to us than technical experience.”

Eva CherryPresident and CEO of Silicon Mechanics

“Apprenti finds people who are passionate about technology and wanting to program, but are coming in with a level of maturity and a level of experience that somebody I would hire straight out of school or even from another tech company isn’t going to come in with.”

Kevin GoldsmithCTO at Avvo

“Our partnership with the Workforce Institute enables us to influence the curriculum and training provided to apprentices and lets us do the on-the-job training.”

Chuck EdwardHead of Global Talent Acquisition at Microsoft

“Apprenti offers an innovative approach to an issue of increasing urgency for employers: a skilled workforce that reflects the diversity of its partners, customers and communities. It is essential to our company’s and the technology industry’s long-term, competitive growth that we recruit and retain talent from a more diverse population.”
