    Lunch and Learn: Building Stronger Registered Apprenticeship Programs

    Join net.America and ICF for our Lunch and Learn webinar titled Building Stronger Registered Apprenticeship Programs on June 11, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET. This webinar, led by partner West Virginia Women Work, will explore awareness, supportive services, and proven strategies for building strong sustainable Registered Apprenticeship Programs.  West Virginia Women Work is a nonprofit that supports and advocates for education, employment, and economic equity for all women. For over 20 years the organization has strived to help women in West Virginia earn a living wage. We achieve this goal through a comprehensive program of recruitment, training, referrals, placements, networking, advocacy, retention activities, and public workshops. The primary focus of the organization’s activities has been to help women explore, train, and secure employment in nontraditional occupations, especially the skilled trades. Our organization has served over 1,000 women in West Virginia with our career coaching service, computer literacy classes, and public career exploration workshops. Beyond the program benefits for individual job seekers, WVWW also assists employers that struggle to meet employment goals. Our organization creates a partnership network across the state that includes WorkForce WV, Adult Learning Centers, Registered Apprenticeship Programs, and private employers. Through these partnerships, we have direct access to feedback on the difficulties employers experience when searching for qualified tradeswomen. Our organization works to overcome unmet equal opportunity goals and advance women’s ability to increase their earning potential.
