Nothing speaks as loudly as the story of someone whose life was changed by an apprenticeship. That’s why we created the Apprentice Ambassador Program.

Each year, we select a cohort of current or graduated apprentices, provide them with a year of free training, and book them to tell their story at business events.

Join us to hear an overview of the Apprentice Ambassador Program: 
• Goals
• 2027 Curriculum
• Events
• Expectations
• Social Media & The Apprentice Perspective Podcast Opportunities
• Travel Reimbursement
• Q&A


    Do you have someone in mind? Have them fill out our online application. The application is open year-round, but the cut-off for acceptance into the 2027 cohort is November 12.

    Want to hear from our current Apprentice Ambassadors? Listen to a 15-20 minute episode featuring our Ambassadors on The Apprentice Perspective podcast, available on all your favorite streaming platforms.

              Add to Calendar 10:00 AM 11/11/202611:00 AM America/Chicago From Pilot to National Model: How Insurance Apprenticeships Scaled from Harper College
              This Workforce Webinar explores how Harper College developed one of the earliest registered insurance apprenticeship models in the United States, beginning in 2016 through the American Apprenticeship Initiative grant in partnership with industry leaders such as Zurich North America. Over the past decade, the program has served more than 630 apprentices, with over 220 completing the insurance program, demonstrating strong completion and employment outcomes.

              Participants will learn how faculty, deans, and industry partners collaborated to design curriculum, build related instruction, and create a scalable talent pipeline in a new and emerging industry space. The presentation will also highlight how this early model helped inform broader employer-led efforts such as the Chicago Apprentice Network, where Zurich played a founding role in advancing apprenticeship adoption across industries. Finally, it will showcase how Zurich North America has designated Harper College as a national provider for multiple associate degree apprenticeship pathways.

              Learn how your organization could:
               ▪️ Receive support through the SHRM Foundation’s Skills First initiative
               ▪️ Access opportunities through the $350,000 State of Illinois Apprenticeship Expansion Grant.

              Illinois Employers: Join us for a practical virtual briefing on accessing grant funding to expand your HR and IT staff development strategies through the use of registered apprenticeships.

              Learn how your organization could:
               ▪️ Receive support through the SHRM Foundation’s Skills First initiative
               ▪️ Access opportunities through the $350,000 State of Illinois Apprenticeship Expansion Grant.
               ▪️ Use apprenticeships to help develop skilled talent, improve retention, and address hiring challenges with low cost and reduced administrative burden.

              This session gives Chambers of Commerce and their employers a clear, actionable look at how to access current grant funding to expand registered apprenticeships in HR and IT roles. Grant funding is available across all Illinois employers through the State of Illinois Apprenticeship Expansion Grant, awarded by the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to the SHRM Foundation, in partnership with Apprenti.

              Attendees will learn how these apprenticeship pathways help businesses build a stronger workforce, reduce hiring challenges, and improve retention at low cost and with reduced administrative burden. The briefing will show Chambers and employers how to participate, what support is available through SHRM Foundation’s Skills First initiative, and the steps needed to access the $350,000 grant and additional State of Illinois incentives and tax credits. Business owners will leave with a straightforward approach to use apprenticeships to develop skilled talent and create sustainable, future‑ready workforce solutions.
