This inaugural awards ceremony was hosted by L&I’s Apprenticeship and Training Office (ATO) to celebrate outstanding Pennsylvania program sponsors and apprentices.
“Apprenticeships are essential to meet the demand for skilled workers to support industry needs,” said Secretary Walker. “The organizations and individuals we recognized today exemplify some of the best in the apprenticeship space here in Pennsylvania, and they should stand as a model for other organizations looking to start their own registered program.”
Since the start of his Administration, Governor Josh Shapiro has been focused on creating real opportunities for people to obtain good-paying jobs. That’s why Governor Shapiro’s 2024-25 budget proposal builds on the 2023-24 budget with bipartisan support for investments in workforce development, including $6 million for apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs.
Established in 2016, L&I’s Apprenticeship and Training Office (ATO) is responsible for guiding and promoting the expansion and compliance of all registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs across the Commonwealth. The ATO currently supports 880 unduplicated program sponsors, 117 registered pre-apprenticeship programs, and 1,553 occupation-specific registered apprenticeship programs across the Commonwealth, with more than 16,442 registered apprentices currently active.
The event was held at the Carpenters’ Training Center in Pittsburgh and co-hosted by Partner4Work, a leading workforce development organization in Allegheny County.
