Summary
A county staff member told the meeting transcript that Maricopa County has a target of 3,000 registered apprentices by 2026 and described registered apprenticeships as a way for people to train without pausing income.
A county staff member said Maricopa County has “the lofty goal of 3,000 apprentices, by 2026,” and described registered apprenticeships as a way for residents to earn while they train.
The staff member told the meeting transcript that apprenticeships let people “get into that career they're interested in and not have to take a break from income to go get the training, get the education, get the information needed to really pursue that.”
