Recently, we visited with Cheryl Rose of the state’s apprenticeship program and she informed us of their program in identifying people interested in committing to new skilled trades and connecting them to sponsoring organizations. The program almost seems too good to be true, but it is.
Individual apathy by job seekers and awareness of the program and its benefits appear to be holding this program back from providing an impactful and very much needed hope to struggling job seekers in this economy.
If you have lost a job, looking for a job transition or a young person beginning your career, contact Cheryl at cheryl.rose@doli.virginia.gov or visit their site www.doli.virginia.gov.
