Summary
Raytheon Intelligence & Space has launched a paid manufacturing apprenticeship program in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor and Collin College in McKinney, Texas. This initiative aims to equip students with industry credentials while offering valuable on-the-job experience, with expectations to enroll over 100 apprentices in its first five years.
This program addresses the significant skills gap in the manufacturing sector, providing a pathway for students to enter high-demand roles while earning competitive wages. Registered apprenticeships like this one are essential for building a skilled workforce that meets the evolving needs of industries in Texas and beyond.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This launch highlights the importance of registered apprenticeship programs in creating robust career pathways for students while simultaneously addressing workforce shortages.
