Whether it's finance, IT or a new sector entirely, employers facing worker shortages have a lot to gain by exploring an apprenticeship model.

Companies not considering this motivated talent pool are missing out.

Wisconsin has nearly 14,000 active apprentices working for approximately 2,500 employers.

Apprentices fill the skills gap left by departing employees and are more likely to remain working for the employer sponsoring their training.
