This document summarizes a webinar about modern apprenticeships. It discusses what apprenticeships are, who would benefit from them, and industries that offer apprenticeship programs. Apprenticeships provide structured, hands-on training under the supervision of a skilled expert. They can benefit those looking to rejoin the workforce, change careers, or fill a skills gap. Apprenticeships offer training in both hard technical skills and soft skills while also providing networking opportunities and potential future income, as some apprenticeships are paid. The webinar reviewed national growth data on apprenticeships and provided resources for learning more.

HOUSEKEEPING SCRIPT:
Thank you for joining today’s webcast, The Power of Modern Apprenticeship, brought to you by Level Up from Forbes.
Before we begin, we wanted to cover a few housekeeping items. At the bottom of your audience console, there are multiple application widgets you can use throughout the webcast. If you have any questions during the webinar, you can click on the “Q&A” widget at the bottom. We do capture all submitted questions so we’ll be able to view these during the webcast and will address as many as we can during the Q&A.
A copy of today’s slide deck is available in the “resource list” widget that looks like a green folder at the bottom of your screen. You can expand your slide area by clicking on the maximize icon on the top right of the slide area or by dragging the bottom right corner of the slide area.
If you have any technical difficulties, please click on the Help widget. It has a question mark icon and covers common technical issues.
So let’s get started.
