IPC Named U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Ambassador

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has officially designated IPC an apprenticeship ambassador. This prestigious recognition underscores our commitment to fostering and expanding registered apprenticeship programs across the United States, contributing to a more robust and more diverse workforce.

As an Apprenticeship Ambassador, IPC partners with the DOL’s Office of Apprenticeship to promote apprenticeships as an effective workforce development strategy. This initiative aims to create equitable access to high-quality career pathways, benefiting individuals and industries.

Our Commitment to Workforce Development

IPC has a rich history of developing innovative training programs and certifications tailored to the electronics manufacturing sector. Being named an Apprenticeship Ambassador enables us to extend our reach further, connecting more employers and job seekers and amplifying the benefits of apprenticeships for economic mobility and business growth.

The Role of an Apprenticeship Ambassador

As an ambassador, IPC will focus on several key areas:

• Promoting Apprenticeship Benefits: We will share success stories and best practices from our programs to inspire more industries to embrace apprenticeships.
• Expanding Opportunities: Our efforts will include collaborations with community organizations and educational institutions to make apprenticeships more accessible, especially to underrepresented groups.
• Diversifying the Workforce: We aim to tailor training programs to meet the evolving needs of today’s industries by partnering with companies and workforce boards.

IPC proudly joins this network of employers, labor organizations, workforce intermediaries, and educators dedicated to advancing apprenticeships as a premier solution for workforce development.

Why This Matters

The Apprenticeship Ambassador Initiative by the DOL seeks to diversify, expand, and strengthen apprenticeship programs to support workers, employers, and communities nationwide. The initiative recognizes organizations that are committed to developing a skilled workforce and supporting career pathways through apprenticeships.
