Our
EVENTS

National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is a nationwide celebration where employers, apprentices and graduates, industry representatives, labor organizations, community-based organizations, workforce partners, educational institutions, and federal, state, and local government agencies host events to showcase the successes and value of Registered Apprenticeship. Events highlight Registered Apprenticeship’s role in strengthening our economy by developing a highly skilled workforce to meet industry needs and creating pathways for career seekers to catapult into in-demand jobs.

 

This year marks the first full week celebration in the spring, from April 26 to May 2, 2026, after the U.S. Department of Labor decided to move NAW to April in response to stakeholder feedback. This year also provides an opportunity to recognize the Trump Administration’s efforts to expand Registered Apprenticeship and exceed the 1 million active apprentice goal to meet industry needs.
