Apprenticeship Colorado
About
Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential. CDLE's Office of the Future of Work (OFW) prioritizes registered apprenticeship as critical to our future workforce, as we plan for the launch of our State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) and implement registered apprenticeship expansion grants statewide.
