Featured Highlight - National Apprenticeship Week in 2025
National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is moving to April! Based on feedback from partners across the country, it was determined the end of April is a better timeframe to celebrate apprenticeship culmination and progress.
For 2025, we will kick off the date change with a single National Apprenticeship Day on Friday, April 30th and work toward week-long celebrations in years to come!
Mark your calendars now for April 30, 2025!
For a recap on the most recent National Apprenticeship Week from November 2024, check out the @USDOL blog for more information. Or, check out our most recent toolkit for sponsors.
