The Voice of the Apprentice: A Panel on Illinois' Apprentice Ambassadors and Their Employers
Join Apprenticeship Illinois during National Apprenticeship Week for a panel discussion with this year's cohort of Apprentice Ambassadors and their employer sponsors. The Apprentice Ambassador program is an annual cohort housed under the Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship (WBLA) Committee of the Illinois Workforce Innovation Board (IWIB).
Each year, apprentices from across the state, representing a wide array of industries, are selected to give voice to the apprentice perspective and advocate the win-win model to businesses and other organizations. Each ambassador is sponsored by their employer and mentored by a member of the WBLA Committee. As part of this cohort, ambassadors have the opportunity to engage in professional development, networking, and public speaking. The program, in turn, provides them with professional development to equip them with the tools necessary to tell their story with a business engagement angle.
Hear a few representatives from this year's cohort of ambassadors speak about their paths to apprenticeship and how it has improved their lives. Hear a few representatives of their employer sponsors speak to the return on investment that apprenticeships have generated for their enterprise.
To hear more of this year’s Apprentice Ambassador’s conversations with leaders in workforce development, business, and education, stream The Apprentice Perspective podcast on all streaming services.
