Recruiting, training, and retaining tech talent is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. With over 264,500 new tech roles created in 2022, and only 75,000 college graduates with related degrees, more than 375,000 tech positions were left unfilled. With this gap growing exponentially year over year, the need to invest in creating more tech talent at a faster pace is clearer than ever.
Diverse cultural perspectives not only inspire creativity and drive innovation, they increase employee morale and instill a desire to be more effective, which leads to increased productivity. Apprenti actively recruits individuals from underrepresented groups, such as women, people of color, Veterans, and people with disabilities, although anyone is eligible to apply.
As the first nationally registered tech apprenticeship program, Apprenti defines tech apprenticeship. Our trusted national organization has adapted the time-tested model of Registered Apprenticeship to create a simplified path to qualified and certified talent. Apprenti is creating a new pipeline of untapped talent and strengthening the tech ecosystem nationwide.
Apprenti provides a full-service solution for adopting and creating apprenticeships within your company either through accessing our holistic approach, or via consulting with us to build your own in-house program.
