Registered Apprenticeship Week |
The Department of Labor and Regulation (DLR) is offering informational sessions in four communities during National Registered Apprenticeship Week, Nov. 13 – 19. The Governor invites business, education, economic development and HR leaders to attend the sessions to learn more about apprenticeship opportunities.
