Event Highlights Power of Apprenticeships

On Friday November 18, the Bay Area Council and our partners in the Northern California Apprenticeship Network hosted a celebration of National Apprenticeship Week 2024.  National Apprenticeship Week is a White House initiative to educate employers on the many benefits of apprentices and to grow this alternative pathway to employment across all industry sectors in the United States.   We were honored to welcome keynote speaker California Secretary of Labor Stewart Knox, and we also heard from an inspirational panel of apprentices from Bay Area Council members Accenture and Aon about how this opportunity opened doors for them that they never even knew existed and how their own apprenticeships have changed their lives. A huge thanks to Hanson Bridgett for hosting the event and reception and to Accenture for hosting the bar!
