It's Q&A Wednesday! A common question we receive is: Who are typical apprenticeship partners?

Registered Apprenticeships thrive on a proven system of public-private partnerships. The network that makes these programs successful includes:
• Businesses and industry associations
• State and local workforce development agencies
• Two- and four-year colleges
• The U.S. military and community-based organizations

In Mississippi, our strong partnerships with community colleges, the State workforce investment board, the Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES), and the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) ensure our workforce development efforts are tailored to real business needs.
