Apprenticeships are a career path to many white-collar professions NOT just unions and the trades.

  • Apprenticeship works for any program that is skill-based and can be supported by experiential learning.
  • Apprenticeships are growing in non-trade industries such as IT, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, insurance and hospitality.

The resources spent are an investment in an employee which will result in higher productivity and lower recruitment costs, NOT just an expense.

  • Employers can reduce costs by partnering with other employers and the public works system.
  • Educational institutions and community organizations can offset education and training costs.

There is no minimum size for employers. This is NOT just a program for large employers.

  • Apprenticeship is ideal for any position that benefits from on-the-job learning and where there is a committed mentor.
  • Useful for positions where employers are faced with high turnover.

The SHRM Foundation will be your partner and provide resources needed to establish a registered apprenticeship program including:

Providing a SHRM-designed, Department of Labor registered program to give an apprentice the skills and competencies required to be an HR Specialist

Guidance on how to tailor the course work and on-the-job learning to meet your needs

Recommended educational institutions to provide the classroom learning

Resources for assuring apprenticeship success

Assistance in completing all required paperwork

SHRM Foundation, a nonprofit affiliate of the Society for Human Resource Management, is committed to empowering HR professionals through programming designed to inspire the next generation of leaders—supporting SHRM’s mission to elevate HR and create a better workplace and better world.
