“It was a great honor to meet with Secretary Solis and acknowledge the role that apprenticeship programs have played within the U.S. workforce,” said Glen Paine, Executive Director of MITAGS-PMI and the Workboat of Academy. “The Workboat Academy has been very successful in its hands-on-training of apprentices, both in the classroom and with Partner Companies on the vessels.”
The Office of Apprenticeship commemorated “Out Educate, Out Build, Out Innovate” at the National Education and Action Summit, which was attended by leaders, partners and stakeholders of registered apprentice programs at the Department of Labor’s Great Hall in Washington D.C.
