The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) aims to enhance apprenticeship resources and networks statewide by establishing four Regional Apprenticeship Hubs. These hubs will be strategically aligned with community college locations to better serve local industries. The primary goal of these Regional Hubs is to develop and expand Pre-Apprenticeships and Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) across various sectors, including New Hampshire’s high-demand industries such as Healthcare, Technology, Manufacturing, Construction, Hospitality, Transportation/Logistics, and Education/Childcare. This Hub model supports state goals and workforce development plans, positioning RAPs as a crucial solution to address talent shortages. CCSNH plans to engage 50-100 employers and enroll 500-700 participants in RAPs. Additionally, we aim to create 32 new Pre-Apprenticeship programs and expand 60 existing ones. The central focus of this initiative is to promote inclusion, equity, diversity, and access. At least 30% of participants will be from underserved populations. Our statewide partners play a vital role in this model. They are responsible for expanding apprenticeship infrastructure and promoting the development of both registered apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships. Partners are also expected to have targeted outreach strategies for underrepresented populations.
