​National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is a nationwide celebration that brings together business and labor leaders, career seekers, educational institutions, and critical partners to demonstrate their support for apprenticeships.

Apprenticeship Illinois is celebrating Apprenticeship Week 2022 by hosting a range of events, in-person and virtually, and amplifying local and regional celebrations of apprenticeships. This week provides apprenticeship sponsors the opportunity to showcase their programs, facilities, and apprentices in their community. It provides those curious about apprenticeships a way to learn about the benefits that come from learning and earning. Read the State of Illinois' Press Release for National Apprenticeship Week.

The week-long celebration highlights the benefits of apprenticeships in preparing a highly-skilled workforce to meet the talent needs of Illinois employers across diverse industries. Come join us!
