Apprenticeships are reshaping the future of workforce development across the country.
Join us for an engaging discussion on the evolving landscape of work-based learning
and discover how organizations are building successful apprenticeship programs from
the ground up.
Hear directly from peers who have embraced this shift—and from apprentices themselves—about
how these programs have transformed their careers and lives.
Whether you're just starting to explore apprenticeships or looking to enhance your
existing program, this event offers valuable insights and inspiration.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and lead in the future of work.

Mingle with industry leaders, educators and apprenticeship champions in a lively,
relaxed atmosphere—complete with cocktails, gourmet appetizers and the smooth sounds
of a live jazz band setting the tone. This is your chance to make meaningful connections,
share bold ideas and build momentum before the main event begins. Let the conversations
flow and the music move you as we set the stage for an unforgettable ELEVATE experience!
