YUPRO Placement

As National Apprenticeship Week comes close to an end, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible journeys of our apprentices who bring dedication, resilience, and drive to their work every day. One of our apprentices recently shared, “The fact that I am able to get my certificate through the Department of Labor, that’s a big thing. The mentorship that YUPRO Placement provided, that connection with individuals if I needed to reach out to, through this whole process, has made the transition much easier.” Apprenticeships create life-changing opportunities, and we’re honored to support these talented individuals as they build meaningful careers. #NAW2024 #DecadeofNAW #DOL #Apprentice

As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, we want to highlight the voices of our apprentices. Here’s what Aiyana had to say: “YUPRO Placement has impacted my career by allowing me to further enhance my knowledge and skills in my role as an Application Development Analyst. A skills-first [approach] has impacted my career development because it has allowed me to confidently be a problem-avoider and expand my professional network.“ Here’s to our apprentices, who remind us every day of the value of skills-first hiring. #NAW2024 #DecadeofNAW #DOL #Apprentice
