Couple this with a significant emphasis both internally and externally on DE&I initiatives, and the growth in emerging occupations, increasingly, employers are recognizing the need to look beyond traditional degrees and the traditional talent pools to get the skills companies need. Apprenticeships can be the answer to getting the talent you need now.
