A Winning Workforce Development Strategy: Apprenticeships Take Center Stage as Shapiro Administration Celebrates Winners of PA Registered Apprenticeship & Pre-Apprenticeship Awards

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) celebrated the winners of its annual PA Registered Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship Awards. Organized by L&I's Apprenticeship and Training Office (ATO) in partnership with Bucks County Intermediate Unit, the celebration highlighted the importance and role of registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs in Governor Josh Shapiro's workforce development strategy, while recognizing the programs and participants doing outstanding work in the space.

"Apprenticeships continue to prove themselves as one of the most effective workforce development strategies we have: they open doors for Pennsylvanians to earn while they learn and build a stronger, more competitive economy in the process," said L&I Secretary Nancy A. Walker. "We're proud to celebrate this year's winners whose leadership and innovation are helping these programs thrive across our Commonwealth. With Governor Shapiro's continued investments, we're ensuring apprenticeships remain a cornerstone of opportunity for years to come."

Speakers Include:
Secretary Nancy Walker
Kristina Mulhern, Teacher Apprentice
