WELCOME TO APPRENTICESHIP WEEK 2024
National Apprenticeship week is a nationwide celebration where employers, apprentices, industry representatives, community-based organizations, workforce partners, educational institutions, and civic leaders come together to highlight the successes and value of Registered Apprenticeships.
Apprenticeships are not just workforce development programs—they strengthen our entire local economy and create economic mobility for people across our community. Let’s celebrate!

Chattanooga Has A Special Connection to Apprenticeship
As one of only five ‘Apprenticeship Innovation Hubs’ in the United States, Chattanooga and Hamilton County are at the leading edge of the movement to expand modern apprenticeships. This unique opportunity allows local companies and career-seekers to tap into resources and obtain support at no cost.
Apprenticeship Works is the home of the local Apprenticeship Innovation Hub, and we are working closely with local employers to help them adopt modern apprenticeships as a way to grow their workforce. We have full-time staff working every day to help employers create new apprenticeship programs, and help career-seeks connect to new opportunities.
We are just getting started!
