Finding skilled employees can be challenging. Danville Community College can help you build them.
Through DCC’s Knight's Apprenticeship program, employers can develop a reliable pipeline of skilled workers while providing employees with structured, paid, on-the-job training and related classroom instruction.
As a Registered Apprenticeship intermediary through Virginia Works, DCC helps employers navigate the process, making it easier to establish an apprenticeship program that meets your workforce needs.
Why Registered Apprenticeship?
Registered Apprenticeship is an employer-driven workforce development model. You identify the skills your organization needs, and apprentices develop those skills through a combination of:
- Paid, on-the-job training with experienced employees
- Related technical instruction that builds occupational knowledge
- Progressive skill development based on your industry and workplace
- Mentorship from skilled professionals
- A nationally recognized credential upon successful completion
The result is a workforce trained specifically for the work you do.
Why Partner with DCC?
You don't have to navigate Registered Apprenticeship alone.
DCC works alongside employers to help develop apprenticeship opportunities and connect education with real-world workforce needs. Our team can help guide you through program development, registration requirements, related instruction, and the process of bringing apprentices into your organization.
