Johnson County has launched its Registered Apprenticeship Program. The program aims to support local workforce development efforts by connecting aspiring workers with training and employment opportunities in high-demand industries.
The program is funded by dollars received by Johnson County through the American Rescue Plan Act.
The apprenticeship program is designed to provide on-the-job training and education in a variety of fields, including advanced manufacturing, healthcare and information technology. Diverse applicants 18 years of age and older who are interested in pursuing a career in high-demand fields are encouraged to apply.
Accepted participants will receive classroom instruction and on-the-job training, with the goal of obtaining a nationally recognized credential upon completion of the program, while earning a fair wage.
The Johnson County Registered Apprenticeship Program is made possible through a partnership with the IowaWORKS Center, Iowa Department of Labor, and local businesses and employers.
