How it Works

It begins with a conversation with our CAFT team.

They will listen to understand your needs and work with you to define a plan. That may mean…

  • Connecting with candidates who are pre-screened, ready to work—and in some cases, already trained
  • Exploring how those learners and your organization will benefit if they continue their training on the job as part of a registered apprenticeship program
  • Learning how apprenticeship programs can build a robust talent pipeline for entry-level roles through the upskilling of current staff
