UNITE-LA was excited to host a session on “Exploring Apprenticeship Programs: A Pathway to Business Growth and Success” at the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Statewide Conference and at the California Workforce Association (CWA) Meeting of the Minds Monterey (MMM) Conference. Sessions empowered business and government leaders to tap into the transformative potential of apprenticeship programs, helping drive organizational growth and development, while fostering connections between job seekers and employer partners in Los Angeles.

Real-world examples, including success stories from a Los Angeles-based employer, demonstrated the tangible benefits of implementing apprenticeship programs. Participants left with actionable guidance on launching and managing similar initiatives, covering essential areas like regulatory compliance, partnership development, and leveraging existing networks for support. Sessions provided business leaders with a valuable opportunity to explore apprenticeships as a powerful workforce development tool, driving the long-term success and sustainability of opportunities and the importance of aligning resources, programs, and shared goals across alliances.
