The Modern Apprenticeship Pathways to Success (MAPS) Program is a Department of Labor grant project that seeks to develop and expand apprenticeships in Healthcare, Information Technology, and Advanced Manufacturing to train, upskill, and reskill the local workforce.
Our goals:
Additionally, this project will be leveraged to fuel innovative research serving to expand our collective knowledge of experiential learning as well as develop replicable technical support for other organizations interested in developing their own RAPs.

Apprenticeships are employer-driven, earn-and-learn experiences used to recruit, train, and retain a skilled workforce. They combine classroom learning, on-the-job application, and mentorship in a paid experience that leads to a relevant credential, all in a safe working environment.
5 Pillars of Apprenticeships:
Who is eligible to participate in MAPS?
Eligibility to participate in MAPS-developed programs is dependent on the type of program offering and employer requirements. For example, those interested in an academic apprenticeship must be enrolled at the post-secondary institution offering the program.
Myth: Apprenticeship programs are for trade occupations only.
