Harrison, MI November 7, 2016 – Mid Michigan Community College, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor, today announced that it will host an Apprenticeship Open House as part of the second annual National Apprenticeship Week.

Apprenticeship is an “earn and learn” training model that combines work-based learning with related classroom instruction using the highest industry standards. Companies that offer apprenticeship programs can diversify their workforce, improve productivity and profitability, standardize training, reduce turnover, receive tax credits and more.
The apprenticeship system began in construction and other skilled trades. Today there are apprenticeships in more than 1,000 occupations, including careers in healthcare, IT, energy and more. The goal of National Apprenticeship Week and open house events like this one is to educate businesses and leaders about the importance of apprenticeship programs.
