Representatives from the U.S Department of Labor discussed workforce needs and apprenticeship initiatives at Camden County College.
The event featured New Jersey’s first AI Registered Apprenticeship program. They also recognized a Camden County College Manufacturing Apprenticeship graduate. Additional discussions will focus on preparing students for in-demand trade and technical roles.
“As a proud union carpenter for over thirty years, I’ve seen firsthand how skilled trades and registered apprenticeships can transform lives, and strengthen communities,” said Commissioner Jonathan Young. “These pathways create access to stable, in-demand careers while building a stronger and more resilient workforce.”
The event is part of National Apprenticeship Week, held from April 26-May 2, a nationwide initiative coordinated by the U.S Department of Labor. The week celebrates the impact of Registered Apprenticeships and promotes the expansion of career pathways for students and workers.
