Start an Apprenticeship Program

Think Ahead: Plan for Your Future Workforce

Hiring skilled workers is an ongoing challenge—but a registered apprenticeship can help change that. By building your own pipeline of trained talent, you’ll develop the skilled workers you need to meet future demand.

Creating and registering an apprenticeship program gives your business control over both training and workforce development. Whether you’re replacing retiring employees, expanding into new Iowa locations, or growing your existing team, you’ll have entry-level workers trained to your exact standards.

Now’s the time to consider developing and registering an apprenticeship program for your business.

Hire Unskilled; Retain Skilled

A registered apprenticeship program means you hire new workers at a low skill wage. You have the expertise of Hawkeye for training, mentoring, and certifying your apprentice’s skills. As your apprentice moves through your program, they become the trained, skilled, and experienced worker you need. Most apprentices stay with the employer who trained them, too.

Grants and Expertise for You

Nationally and in Iowa, advanced manufacturers are turning to apprenticeships to solve their skills gaps. And there’s help to get your program off the ground. Both the State of Iowa and the federal government offer technical assistance and other resources. Iowa has two state grants as well as tax credits available for registered apprenticeships.

Hawkeye has the local experts to guide you as you develop and register your new program. And, of course, we have the training expertise to make your apprenticeship effective.
