This week,( November 13 – 17), the Tennessee Department of Education is celebrating the 9th Annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW), highlighting how apprenticeship programs build a stronger workforce and address labor market challenges through a combination of on-the-job training and high-quality curriculum and instruction. Across the state, there are now 45 certified pre-apprenticeship programs to support high school students in transitioning to one of seven different registered apprenticeship programs across 15 different areas of coursework.
Throughout the week, the department will spotlight innovative apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship opportunities on social media using #NAW2023 and #ApprenticeshipTN.
