Happy #NAW2024! This year marks the 10th anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week! We're celebrating the past #DecadeOfNAW with this year's theme, "10 Years of Engagement, Expansion, and Innovation". This theme highlights the incredible impact of registered apprenticeships over the past decade, and utilizes three words that resonate deeply with us at Mission. Apprenticeship programs play a vital role in shaping the future of our workforce, offering employees structured opportunities to grow their skills, explore new paths, and thrive in their careers. At Mission, we believe in the power of learning by doing. Apprenticeships allow us to invest in our team members' success while also driving innovation and excellence in the #automation industry. We are very proud of our current and graduated apprentices and can't wait to continue watching their success! Join us in celebrating the impact of apprenticeships and continue paving the way for growth and opportunity in advanced manufacturing! #ApprenticeshipUSA #OnAMission
