As a leading voice for more job opportunities for America’s workers, the American Staffing Association is proud to join in celebrating National Apprenticeship Week.
“Apprenticeships play a critical role in future-proofing careers in our country,” said Richard Wahlquist, chief executive officer at ASA. “As skills-based hiring continues to gain momentum, job seekers need more pathways to build in-demand skill sets.”
“Throughout the labor market, staffing agencies are partnering with companies to create apprenticeship programs for the workers of today and tomorrow. ASA will continue to advocate for the increased support and expansion of public- and private-sector apprenticeship programs to ensure America has the talent needed to drive and sustain global competitiveness and prosperity for individuals, businesses, and society.”
