AgendaSession 1: Apprenticeships 9 a.m........Presenter-Elliott Cain, Reemployment Program Coordinator – Registered Apprenticeship (presentation & Q&A) The Registered Apprenticeship system combines supervised on-the-job training with technical classroom instruction in subjects related to the apprentice’s chosen occupation. The apprentice has the opportunity to earn a living while gaining skills, and pay raises are awarded throughout the program as skills increase. Apprenticeship programs are operated by both the public and private sector. Those entities offering an apprenticeship program are called sponsors, and may be an employer, employer association, or labor union. Recently, community colleges, workforce development centers, and faith and community-based organizations have collaborated with businesses and industries to develop Registered Apprenticeship programs through sponsoring employer-participation agreements. The sponsor of an apprenticeship program plans, administers and usually pays for the program.10 a.m......Employer Spotlight-GSK Session 2: On The Job Training (OJT) 11 a.m.......Presenter-Ashley Pick, Reemployment Program Coordinator-Economic Transition National Dislocated Worker Grant (presentation & Q&A)& Employer Spotlight Ever wonder what "OJT" really means or how the program works?
