Across the US, local road agencies and public works teams have utilized apprenticeships to identify, train, and place new employees into career opportunities in public works and highway construction. This was an informal discussion to explore some of the models and success stories used in other areas of the country, as well as to introduce some of the potential opportunities here within NH, to develop similar apprenticeship programs to support workforce development locally. We also discussed where we go from here- are there certain opportunities of interest that we can partner on to develop further, are their best practices that can be shared, or other ways of supporting workforce development.
