First state-sponsored apprenticeship program was wrapped up by Alarm.com recently for a tech company in Virginia. It included 10 weeks of technical instruction at Northern Virginia Community College and nine months of on-the-job training. Most of those in its apprenticeship program were hired for full-time jobs.
According to wtop.com, "With more than 50,000 currently unfilled technology-related jobs in Northern Virginia, apprenticeships can also be a completive advantage for companies that are able to build that needed talent in-house. There is free information about apprenticeship programs, including searches for available programs with apprenticeships such as engineering, software development and cybersecurity, posted online by the U.S. Department of Labor."
