Celebrating "10 Years of Engagement, Expansion, and Innovation," NAW showcases RA's role in workforce development, diversity, and inclusion.

Indianapolis, IN, November 12, 2024 --(PR.com)-- National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) 2024, held this year from Nov. 17–23, commemorates a decade of extraordinary growth, engagement, and innovation in Registered Apprenticeship (RA) programs across the United States. Since NAW’s inception in 2014, thousands of events have connected jobseekers and employers, highlighting the transformative impacts of RA programs on building sustainable careers, strengthening industries, and advancing racial and gender equity in the workforce.
In celebration of the 10th anniversary, NAW 2024’s theme, “10 Years of Engagement, Expansion, and Innovation,” underscores the critical role RA programs play in equipping the U.S. workforce with the skills and opportunities needed for long-term success. Employers, industry representatives, labor organizations, educational institutions, and federal, state, and local government agencies nationwide are hosting events to showcase the achievements of RA programs and their continued impact on local communities and industries. This year, NAW events will follow themes highlighting the diverse benefits of apprenticeships. Among the highlights is Women in Apprenticeship Day on Thursday, Nov. 21, featuring initiatives to increase female representation across high-demand fields.
The Manhattan Strategy Group LLC (MSG) is excited to participate in NAW by hosting the Advancing Women in the Workforce Apprenticeship Accelerator at Ivy Tech Community College Lawrenceburg, Riverfront Campus. Through MSG’s Supply Chain Automation Workforce Hub (SCA Workforce Hub)—a U.S. Department of Labor-funded industry intermediary—MSG brings together employers, educational institutions, and workforce organizations to develop customized RA training solutions in supply chain automation and advanced manufacturing. This Accelerator is also sponsored by Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD), Ivy Tech Community College, and the Early Childhood Workforce Connector (ECWC) at WRMA, Inc. also a DOL-funded industry intermediary. The event will provide a forum for industry leaders, educators, and workforce organizations to discuss expanding women’s career pathways in high-demand sectors like supply chain, manufacturing, hospitality, and early childhood education.
“National Apprenticeship Week’s 10th anniversary is a celebration of Registered Apprenticeship programs’ unifying power to build a highly skilled workforce that meets industry demands,” said SCA Workforce Hub Project Manager James Price. “The Advancing Women in the Workforce Apprenticeship Accelerator will highlight the opportunities RA programs create for women and support our goal of fostering a skilled, diverse workforce. It’s a chance to empower individuals to find meaningful, well-paying careers while addressing workforce needs in crucial sectors.”
Marjorie Cohen, ECWC Project Manager, added, “RA programs in early childhood education (ECE) provide career development and advancement for early educators while also increasing access to high-quality child care for the local workforce, especially working moms. ECE is the workforce behind the workforce. We’re excited to be part of an event focused on advancing opportunities for women in apprenticeship!”
