19 Maintenance Hiring, Training and Retention Why Apprenticeships? From the US Department of Commerce study titled: The Benefits and Costs of Apprenticeship: A Business Perspective November 2016 If our country is to out-compete and continue to lead the rest of the world, we must prepare our workforce for the jobs of the 21 st century. Yet in meeting more than 2,000 CEO s as Secretary of Commerce, the one challenge I hear over and over again is difficulty finding skilled workers.

20 Maintenance Hiring, Training and Retention Why Apprenticeships? Skilled Trade Workers are the number one talent shortage; 75% of manufacturers report a moderate to severe shortage Equipment is more advanced, however there is significantly less individuals going into these skilled trades 80% of companies who invest in apprentices report a significant increase in employee retention Employers are investing in apprenticeship through technical schools and state assisted programs to combat the shortage and projected shortage of employees.
