Summary
Emily Griffith Technical College in Denver has recently launched two new apprenticeship programs: a Nurse Assisting Registered Apprenticeship aimed at enhancing work experience and certification preparation for nurse assisting students, and a Construction Pre-Apprenticeship targeting high school seniors to create pathways into the construction industry through hands-on learning.
With the appointment of Kevin Riebau as Dean of Apprenticeship, the college aims to expand its apprenticeship offerings in alignment with Colorado's ambitious state goals for workforce development. This initiative is part of a long-standing commitment to provide career and technical training, further strengthening the state's apprenticeship ecosystem.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
These new programs exemplify the critical role of registered apprenticeship in developing skilled workers who can meet industry demands. By creating pathways into key sectors like healthcare and construction, they enhance opportunities for students and contribute to a robust workforce, benefiting employers and the community alike.
