Celebrating Local Apprenticeships in Deep East Texas During National Apprenticeship Week 2024
National Apprenticeship Week provides a platform to celebrate the positive impact of apprenticeships and raise awareness about their value to jobseekers, businesses, and communities. By working together with community partners, we are creating valuable opportunities for our local youth, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and others in underserved populations to enter well-paying careers with room for advancement. As we approach the 10th Annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW), taking place from November 17-23, 2024, we at Workforce Solutions Deep East Texas are excited to celebrate the significant role that apprenticeship programs play in shaping the future of our workforce and strengthening our local economy.
