Nationwide support for apprenticeships is demonstrated as business and labor leaders, career seekers, educational institutions, partners, and state/government come together. The weeklong celebration is an opportunity for schools, organizations, employers, sponsors, grantees, Navigators, and Intermediaries to showcase programs, facilities, and apprentices while spotlighting the benefits of learning and earning. The excitement around NAW attracts a new crowd of curious minds, prospective apprentices, employers, and potential partners.
