Summary
On November 10, the North Idaho College Parker Technical Education Center in Rathdrum will host an open house from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., featuring over 10 regional trade employers ready to connect with job seekers and potential apprentices. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about various apprenticeship programs available through the NIC Workforce Training Center, which includes fields such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, construction, and healthcare.
This event is a valuable chance for community members to explore pathways to high-paying careers through registered apprenticeships, which combine on-the-job training with classroom learning.

Why this matters for apprenticeships
This open house underscores the importance of registered apprenticeship programs as a means for individuals to earn while they learn, ultimately leading to well-paying careers. By connecting job seekers with employers, it fosters a collaborative approach to workforce development, essential for meeting the demands of today's economy.
