Research suggests: Most

companies believe they

cannot afford to commit the

time or resources to a pre-

apprenticeship program, but

actually have never

developed metrics to

evaluate benefit/cost.


Youth Apprentices start at a low wage scale and

progress their wage as skills increase

Most are so productive in their second year of

Apprenticeship they are making money for the

company and mentoring new apprentices

Research studies say that for every dollar spent

on training, an employer receives a benefit, on

average of $1.47 up to $2.00

23


“Youth have or can easily obtain the pre-requisite skills

you want to bring into your company.”

Math skills and pre-requisites

Industry Certifications

Credentials

Safety & Training

24

waiver when youth are registered as a pre-

apprentice or apprentice before graduation

organizations who can pay for on-the-job learning

for eligible students (example: WIOA)

Increased retention and low turn over for the duration

of the apprenticeship and beyond decreases
