Partner With Us to Expand Apprenticeships

Most successful apprenticeship programs are built on a foundation of strong partnerships, which is why we partner with entities that share our passion for scaling registered apprenticeships.

Our Apprenticeship Expansion Partners include state and local workforce or apprenticeship agencies and non-profit organizations or associations with workforce interests. They have an opportunity to provide AIR-developed technical assistance on expanding existing or designing and registering new apprenticeship programs to the agencies or companies that will sponsor apprenticeship programs within their community.

Working with AIR has accelerated Apprenticeship Idaho’s ability to expand and streamline sector development strategies and has enhanced the training experience we provide to sponsors. Leveraging AIR talent and resources has been one of our critical keys to growth.

AIR’s team of apprenticeship experts offers workshops on designing, registering, and launching apprenticeship programs, as well as marketing and identifying funding opportunities for those programs, all at no cost to our partners.

Although this initiative is focused on apprenticeship in tech roles, through our partnership with Apprenticeship Idaho we have proven that AIR’s wealth of tools and resources can help organizations in any industry explore, consider, create, and sustain apprenticeship programs in a vast number of occupations, including healthcare, manufacturing, public sector and more.

AIR will co-brand all materials with our Apprenticeship Expansion Partner. Our combined apprenticeship, community, and industry know-how brings the best to your existing and potential apprenticeship program sponsors. AIR and our Apprenticeship Expansion Partners will collectively communicate the value and proven track record of apprenticeship and take participants through the process of registering or expanding their programs.

Each Apprenticeship Expansion Partner has different expertise, resources, and needs, and AIR will customize partnerships to meet each organization’s needs and best leverage what they already have to offer.
