Summary
DiPrete Engineering has partnered with Building Futures to initiate Rhode Island's first Registered Survey Apprenticeship program. This innovative program aims to bridge the skills gap in land surveying by offering apprentices a combination of paid on-the-job training and structured classroom instruction, ultimately preparing them for a nationally recognized certification.
The launch of this apprenticeship is particularly timely, given the impending retirement of many experienced surveyors in the industry. By developing the next generation of professionals, this initiative not only supports individual career advancement but also strengthens Rhode Island’s economy and the construction landscape.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This program exemplifies the potential of registered apprenticeship models to address workforce shortages in critical fields. By providing a structured pathway for apprentices to gain valuable skills while earning wages, it highlights the importance of collaborative efforts between employers and educational organizations in building a robust workforce.
