Apprenticeship Information for Employers

Build your future workforce by developing the talent you need at your place of business. Registered apprentices learn skills from your most-seasoned employees, creating a company culture that reduces turnover and fosters loyalty for years to come.

Join the growing number of area employers who have partnered with Wake Tech Apprenticeship! Some 150 companies employed 500 apprentices through Wake Tech Apprenticeship in 2024, up from 20 employers and 100 apprentices four years earlier.

"The outcome has been that we have great employees far earlier than expected, and their well-roundedness makes them much more valuable throughout the company."
– Mark Bertoncino, Bühler Aeroglide Corporation
