Summary
Raytheon Intelligence & Space has announced a new paid manufacturing apprenticeship program in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor and Collin College. This initiative, set to launch in 2023, aims to enroll over 100 students in its first five years, providing them with industry credentials and hands-on training in various manufacturing roles.
The program represents a vital step in addressing the manufacturing skills gap in Texas, particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where a significant number of touch labor jobs remain unfilled. By fostering a pipeline of skilled workers, this apprenticeship not only enhances career opportunities for participants but also supports the growth of the local manufacturing sector.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This partnership underscores the importance of registered apprenticeships as a pathway for individuals to gain valuable skills while earning a wage. It emphasizes the collaborative effort needed between industry and education to prepare a workforce that meets the demands of modern manufacturing.
