Building Employer Partnerships for Registered Apprenticeships – Special Career Engagement Meeting
June 17 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
On Wednesday, June 17th we’ll be hosting a special online workshop from 3:00 – 5:00 PM in collaboration with Kristina Barckley, SCCRC Regional Apprenticeship Manager. This workshop will be facilitated by Erick Briggs, CEO of Network Kinection.
Building Employer Partnerships for Registered Apprenticeships
This two-hour workshop supports community college professionals within the SCCRC in building effective strategies to engage employers about registered, non-traditional apprenticeships. With both colleges and employers often new to this model, the session focuses on practical approaches to researching priority sectors, tailoring outreach, and elevating existing employer partnerships into apprenticeship opportunities. Participants will also receive best practices related to collaboration across internal and external partners and, importantly, how to keep apprenticeship messaging simple, so employers see it as achievable, not overwhelming. The workshop will highlight how strong apprenticeship engagement can also strengthen broader employer partnerships, including internships and other work-based learning efforts. Attendees will leave with clear, adaptable strategies they can customize to their own college.
