Registered Apprenticeship is a real job – you’ll be hired from day one by a NH employer. It’s also a work-based training resource that includes an educational or classroom instruction component and a hands-on paid job training component. For more information, please visit: Apprenticeship.gov Q. What industries and occupations are available for Registered Apprenticeship? Through ApprenticeshipNH, Registered Apprenticeship opportunities are available in: advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality, information technology and other rapidly growing sectors of the NH economy with a current or projected shortage of good, skilled workers. Check out our current job openings to learn more about what employers are currently hiring apprentices through ApprenticeshipNH. Q. How long does it take to complete an apprenticeship? Each apprenticeship is unique because it is based on different factors, such as the occupation, industry and training requirements. However, at a minimum, an apprenticeship requires 144 hours of classroom learning (or 18 8-hour days, for reference) and 2,000 hours (about one year if working full-time) of paid, on-the-job training. Typically, apprenticeships take anywhere from one year to six years to complete. Q. What is the salary range for an apprentice? Apprentices earn competitive wages, and from day one of the apprenticeship will receive a paycheck as well as incremental wage increases as skill levels increase. Wage increases happen at regular intervals throughout the apprenticeship, and your employer will communicate to you in advance when you can expect to receive a wage increase. In many industries, apprentices earn up to $60,000 a year upon completing an apprenticeship. Q. Can I earn college credit for participating in an apprenticeship program? Potentially – many of our apprenticeship programs offer apprentices college credit which can be applied toward a certificate or degree. Some programs are non-credit; however, you may still be able to receive credit for prior learning for the instruction and training components of your apprenticeship. Contact us to learn more. Q. Do I get paid for my training time? Some employers will pay apprentices for the time they spend in class, especially when classroom instruction happens at the work site or during normal work hours. However, it is not required that the employer pay you for class time. Additionally, you’ll receive wages for your training on-the-job while you earn as you learn. Q. Where will the classroom instruction take place? You’ll take classes at the Community College System of New Hampshire campus closest to you or to the business sponsoring the apprenticeship. In some situations, the college may provide the instruction through online learning, on-site at your employer or in a traditional classroom setting on campus. Q. What employers are interested? We’re lucky to work with a great cross section of companies in advanced manufacturing, automotive, biomedical tech, business and finance, construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and IT. Check out our current job openings to learn more about which employers are currently hiring apprentices through ApprenticeshipNH. Q. How do I qualify? What if I don’t have any previous experience? Apprenticeships can begin at the age of 16, but some employers have a minimum age requirement of 18.

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 20 existing ones. 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. #### Advanced Manufacturing Roundtable at Great Bay Community College PORTSMOUTH – More than 30 representatives from Seacoast-area manufacturers, business organizations and educators recently convened at Great Bay Community College to discuss how to meet the automated manufacturing workforce needs in the region.   The discussion was the second in a series of automated manufacturing business roundtables that are being held around the state by the NH Center for Automated Manufacturing and ApprenticeshipNH, partnering Community College System of NH programs.   The partnership is a collaboration between all seven of New Hampshire’s community colleges and ApprenticeshipNH to tailor automated manufacturing curriculum to meet evolving employer needs and develop shared programming and outreach efforts across the community college system. Funded by a workforce grant from the State of New Hampshire to CCSNH and apprenticeship expansion grants through the U.S. Department of Labor, the roundtable series launched in Keene in April 2024.   “Cheshire and Sullivan counties have the highest percentage of workers employed in manufacturing, followed by the counties in the Seacoast area. It made sense to begin our outreach efforts in these areas,” said Phil Przybyszewki, partner development and outreach specialist for the NH Center for Automated Manufacturing.   Dr. Cheryl Lesser, president of Great Bay Community College, was impressed by the enthusiasm and ideas shared by the local business community at the Seacoast roundtable, saying that “the connection between what employers need in the workforce and how CCSNH meets that need is critical.”   Participants at the roundtable shared their concerns about reskilling or upskilling current employees to keep pace with rapid technological changes such as robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, nanotech, biotechnology and more. Area employers also discussed challenges posed by the aging manufacturing workforce, declines in younger workers entering the field, and the need for professional development training so younger workers collaborate effectively with other employees. “As a representative of one of New Hampshire’s many small to mid-size manufacturers struggling to meet our workforce development needs, this event reaffirmed that we are not alone, but that we have a plethora of untapped resources to help,” commented Kim Nicols, coordinator of employee growth and development at TURBOCAM International.   Insights provided at this and other roundtables will be used to create an aligned automated manufacturing curriculum across all of New Hampshire’s community colleges. The aligned curriculum will support a skilled statewide workforce and lay the foundation for more registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs within the manufacturing industry.   ApprenticeshipNH supports employers developing Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) that combine on-the-job learning with technical training through the community college system. Tracey Jackson, hub coordinator for ApprenticeshipNH, says that the insights from the roundtable will guide efforts to attract more apprentices to manufacturing programs.   “We heard nearly every roundtable attendee say they needed employees with soft skills. That tells us that professional skills, as well as technical skills, is an important part of the manufacturing curriculum,” she said.   The advanced manufacturing roundtable in Seacoast was created through the joint efforts of CCSNH’s NH Center for Automated Manufacturing, Great Bay Community College, and ApprenticeshipNH. #### Allied Health Apprentices Celebrate Milestone by Completing Nearly 7,000 Hours of Job-Related Instruction This program created healthcare career pathways through a collaboration between Elliot Health System, Catholic Medical Center, Community College System of NH, and ApprenticeshipNH During a time when the need for a skilled workforce is more prevalent than ever in one of the state’s largest industries, allied health apprentices will celebrate a milestone in their healthcare careers. Two dozen medical assistants, patient service representatives and licensed nursing assistants are about to complete the classroom coursework component, a total of 6,656 hours of instruction at Manchester Community College (MCC) as part of their Registered Apprenticeship program. The graduation ceremony will be held on Wednesday, October 5 at 5:30 p.m. at MCC. The graduation ceremony marks the end of classroom coursework and is just three months after prospective students attended a Healthcare Career Fair where they first learned about the program. At the fair, representatives from ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce initiative of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), Catholic Medical Center (CMC) and Elliot Health System (The Elliot) described the program and helped attendees take the first step. Students will now transition fully to their on-the-job training in paid positions at either CMC or The Elliot. This collaborative effort is transforming the region’s healthcare workforce though a Registered Apprenticeship program aimed at cultivating talent in nursing, tech and support roles at The Elliot and CMC. The “earn while you learn” approach allows individuals to hold a paid position while engaging in classroom learning and on-the-job training. Upon program completion, they will have an immediate impact in the workplace from “job-ready” training to fill in-demand positions. The graduation recognizes three cohorts of apprentices employed with CMC or The Elliot: Medical Assistants – Nine apprentices began a two-year program on June 27 that includes 480 hours of related instruction and 3,600 hours of on-the-job training. Patient Service Representatives – Four apprentices began a one-year program on July 18 combining 160 hours of related instruction with 2,000 hours of on-the-job training. Licensed Nursing Assistants – Four CMC and seven Elliot apprentices began the one-year program of 144 to 160 hours of related instruction and 2,000 hours of on-the-job training on August 8 and August 15, respectively. As a Registered Apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Office of Apprenticeship, these apprentices participate in an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where CMC and The Elliot can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential. About Elliot Health System, a member of SolutionHealth: Elliot Health System is a non-profit organization serving the healthcare needs of the community since 1890.

Manchester, NH – A nonprofit health center in Manchester is tapping new resources and partnering with its local community college to help fill high-demand positions. Amoskeag Health has launched a new medical secretary registered apprenticeship program which is an earn-while-you-learn model combining online classroom instruction and on-the-job training. The program is made possible through a partnership with Manchester Community College’s (MCC) Workforce Development Center and the ApprenticeshipNH program, which seeks to address workforce needs in high-demand sectors throughout the state. Amoskeag Health is currently seeking applicants interested in becoming an apprentice and starting a new career in healthcare. “The medical secretary apprenticeship program allows us to address the workforce challenges we face,” said Kris McCracken, President and CEO of Amoskeag Health.  “Medical secretaries play a key role in our call centers, helping to assist our patients and connect them to resources. With the growing challenge of hiring and retaining employees, this partnership is a great opportunity for us to invest in our employees through real-world education and training.” Participants in the Amoskeag Health apprenticeship program will be newly hired employees whose jobs with the company begin with the program. The program will include 144 hours of paid online classroom instruction time offered by Manchester Community College, as well as one year/2,000 hours of on-the-job training. On-the-job training enables apprentices to master the skills learned during instruction, with the support of a one-to-one mentor. Participants will earn wages with incremental raises as they progress and will receive a national occupational credential from the US Department of Labor upon completion. “By combining hands-on training and classroom education, this apprenticeship will give participants the relevant skills needed to be successful in this field,” said Emily Zeien, ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “Anyone interested in working in the healthcare industry is encouraged to apply, regardless of education background or prior experience.” Amoskeag Health is now accepting applications on a rolling basis.

About ApprenticeshipNH The ApprenticeshipNH Program, housed at the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), is a unique effort that prepares workers as Registered Apprentices to better compete in the modern workforce. Focusing on the Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, Construction, Hospitality, and Information Technology sectors, the ApprenticeshipNH Program provides workers with invaluable opportunities to pursue highly-skilled, high-paying jobs, and opportunities for employers seeking to build a qualified workforce in NH. The program is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. #### Apprenticeship Consortium Model A great way for smaller businesses to build robust apprenticeship programs is through consortium and industry association models for registered apprenticeship. This model of apprenticeship allows an industry association, or two or more businesses with a common goal, to pool and capitalize on shared resources. One example is the NH Automobile Dealers Association (NHADA) automotive technician registered apprenticeship program created with ApprenticeshipNH. The one-year, hands-on apprenticeship will match an employer’s current need for skilled workers with jobseekers looking to begin a career in automotive technology, an in-demand field with significant growth opportunities. This was the first apprenticeship consortium program created in New Hampshire and is a joint effort between the NHADA, their membership and ApprenticeshipNH. The program follows the “earn as you learn” model and presents a unique opportunity to both employers and aspiring technicians by fostering a learning environment that is mutually beneficial to the apprentice and employer alike; workers receive professional training at a very high level in a field with significant growth opportunities while employers gain access to a skilled labor pool that is well-prepared for the unique challenges faced by the industry. The partnership was formalized during the 2020 National Apprenticeship Week celebration event when NHADA signed paperwork to become a consortium sponsor for an automotive technician Registered Apprenticeship program. “We are very excited to partner with the New Hampshire’s Community Colleges and the ApprenticeshipNH-initiative to offer this Registered Apprenticeship opportunity to our members, as we continue to help build the automotive workforce in New Hampshire,” said Pete McNamara, NHADA Education Foundation executive director and association president. “This new program is targeted at future techs who are not able to attend the college auto tech program full-time.” A unique element of this consortium agreement is that it gives NHADA members the opportunity to participate in the program by completing a simplified one-page agreement with NHADA. Like other programs implemented with the assistance of ApprenticeshipNH, the on-the-job training takes place at the participating NHADA member’s place of business while the related instruction that compliments the on-the-job training includes two credit-bearing courses completed at one of five participating colleges within the Community College System of New Hampshire. Those course credits can be applied to the Automotive Technology degree and certificate programs that the colleges already have. With multiple locations and schedules available, employers and apprentices from across the state have flexibility in building partnerships and completing the related instruction. Regardless of the specific industry, many different types of employers may benefit from a similar consortium model, especially in the early stages of building out a new apprenticeship program. As exemplified by the streamlined sign-on process enjoyed by NHADA’s members, individual employers can focus more directly on the training of the individual apprentices and less on the administrative input needs associated with the development of a new program. As part of this year’s 2021 National Apprenticeship Week celebration, ApprenticeshipNH is looking forward to two new apprenticeship consortium models. The first is a joint endeavor between Associated Builders and Contractors of New Hampshire and Vermont (ABC NH/VT) and New Hampshire Homebuilders Association (NHHBA) for a new carpenter apprenticeship program currently in development. The carpenter apprenticeship is a three-year program in which participants earn multiple credentials over the course of their experience and, through the ABC and NHHBA as sponsors, employers are provided an expedited path to joining the apprenticeship program by signing a one-page agreement. Related course instruction is provided in partnership with Manchester Community College and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). The second, sponsored by New Hampshire Association of Insurance Agents (NHAIA), is a General Insurance Associate apprenticeship program and was just signed yesterday.  The NHAIA apprenticeship similarly features a simplified path to participation for employers with a one-page agreement. The program is 1.5 years and is not only a great fit for adults, but also features a free High School curriculum geared towards future leaders interested in a career in finance and insurance.

Don’t forget to register for the National Apprenticeship Week celebration this Friday, November 19th from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. #### Apprenticeship Spotlight: Lindsey, Catholic Medical Center Apprentice Name: Lindsey Slauter Industry: Healthcare Town: Manchester, NH Place of Employment: Catholic Medical Center Community College Name: Manchester Community College What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Did you have any ideas about career paths you would like to pursue? I was in retail since I was 18 years old and at a job that I started to hate. I didn’t want to get up and go to work, and I needed a career where I could grow and learn every day. I always wanted to be in the healthcare field. My mom has been an RN since I was 15 and my brother is an EMT. I had a traumatic birth a couple years ago which really cemented my desire to help others feel safe, calm, loved and cared for. How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? While job searching on Indeed, I came across the ApprenticeshipNH program for LNAs. This was my shot at something that I have a passion for. I wrote the essay, filled out my application and crossed my fingers. I hoped that whatever I had on paper showed my heart and what I really want to do with my life. I had goosebumps the whole time writing it because this was what I really wanted to do. What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? I really enjoyed the clinical rotation and working with patients. My patients really enjoy me and say I go in there with a different demeanor. That makes me happy because I know what I want in a caregiver and what I would not want in a hospital whether I’m sick, critically ill or coming through a surgery or a life-changing event. What has been your favorite moment so far in your apprenticeship experience? I had an older patient, who has now passed, and I was one of a few people that could really make her smile. It is hard when they are in the hospital alone and have a special bond with their caretakers. In some of her final moments, I was able to hold her hands and be there, which was very special. Do you have any advice for someone who is thinking about doing an apprenticeship or going into the healthcare field? This has been my greatest accomplishment in life besides my three children. I’ve jumped into it with both feet. I was a little nervous in the beginning and I was afraid that I was going to fail. If it’s something that you really have a passion for and a heart for, please do it because we need you. If you love people and you want them to feel loved and cared for, please join me. This is my dream. This is where I’m supposed to be and without this apprenticeship, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. What kind of doors has this apprenticeship opened for you in this career field? I don’t have to continue as just an LNA. I can go from an LNA to an LPN or an RN if I want, so I can continue to learn and grow. My experience over the last six months has allowed me to float to different units to help and learn new skills. I’m now headed down a career path and I really love it. What area of healthcare are you most interested in and why? I have a passion for babies and have always wanted to go into labor and delivery. I helped deliver my best friend’s baby 12 years ago. Being in that situation and helping bring that baby into the world was an adrenaline rush. It is the coolest thing that I have done with my life, besides having my own children. Being in that moment of helping that baby come into the world was awesome. What are some of your career goals in the future? For the next six months to a year and a half, I’m going to give myself some time to really set my feet into being an LNA and make sure I’m very competent for this position before I decide to go to the next level, which is probably LPN or RN. I am thinking about taking some prerequisites for the nursing program so when I’m ready to be an RN I will have those under my belt. What did this apprenticeship mean to you? I am more than grateful. I tell everybody about it and tell them if they get a chance to do an apprenticeship, especially with CMC, do it because it was a blessing that I needed. It jump-started me to really know that this is where I am supposed to be. Because of the apprenticeship, I get to work my dream job and without it, I wouldn’t be able to. I am blessed and it’s very emotional for me to know that I am actually able to do what I was meant to do, what I was born to do, which is helping people. #### Apprenticeship Spotlight: Sherman, Catholic Medical Center Apprentice Name: Sherman Partap Industry: Medical Town: Goffstown Place of Employment: Catholic Medical Center Community College Name: Manchester Community College What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Sherman: Growing up as a child, I wanted to be a doctor, but my life took a different path when I joined the Air Force. I spent 25 years in the military and in the technology industry as a government contractor and I needed a change. At 50 years old, I wanted my next 20 years of work to make a difference and to be something that I am passionate about. COVID changed everything and resurfaced my desire to get into the medical field. I’ve always had compassion for helping people and saw that there was a need for healthcare workers. How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? Sherman: I came across the ApprenticeshipNH program by accident as I was searching for opportunities on the NH Employment Security website. The program sounded interesting, so I decided to pursue it. How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? Sherman: My apprenticeship program was six weeks total and I graduated in April before starting a permanent position as a licensed nursing assistant (LNA) at Catholic Medical Center (CMS) in May. What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? Sherman: I really enjoyed the clinicals and learning about the theory behind it. It was a great experience for me to take what I learned at MCC and put that into practice with hands-on experiences at CMC. I love working with the patients and always tried to connect with them through my own experiences. Four years ago, I was pre-diabetic and had to make some serious choices for a better life. I was able to make some changes and reverse the symptoms. I tell this to my patients to be an example of how to dig down deep within yourself to find the will to get better. Were there mentorship opportunities during the apprenticeship? Sherman: During the clinicals, I would find one person that I could learn from. Now that I have graduated and in a permanent position at CMC, I do have a mentor that I work with. What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? Sherman: I wouldn’t be where I am right now if it wasn’t for ApprenticeshipNH and getting the opportunity to go into this field from off the street. It’s an extremely valuable program and it has allowed me to get my foot in the door. I am continuing my education and planning to attend MCC in the spring in the nursing program towards becoming a registered nurse. How is this apprenticeship different from other job experiences you have had? Sherman: The medical field is hard work. But I’m now in a position of being able to grasp medical terms and use them in my practice. This is different for me as when I was in the technology field, it came naturally to me. #### ApprenticeshipNH adds hospitality and construction & infrastructure apprenticeships Grant-funded effort will now serve five key sectors of the New Hampshire economy with Hospitality apprenticeships and Construction & Infrastructure apprenticeships. ApprenticeshipNH, a grant-funded effort that seeks to address workforce needs in specific sectors throughout the state with a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training, has added two sectors to the list of those served. The program, operated through the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), will now also support the hospitality and construction & infrastructure sectors in addition to the advanced manufacturing, information technology and healthcare sectors it has served since its inception. “We are thrilled to be able to work with companies in these additional sectors and looking forward to building some very meaningful partnerships,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH at CCSNH. “We want to be able to offer people in New Hampshire multiple pathways to enter high-need careers. Expanding our focus for apprenticeships in areas of growth such as construction and hospitality will enable more people in diverse career paths to advance.” Programs in both sectors that are developed through ApprenticeshipNH will connect employers in the industry with New Hampshire’s community colleges to develop apprenticeship training programs that help businesses develop a skilled workforce. Hospitality Apprenticeships In the hospitality sector, participating employers are likely to include hotels, resorts, restaurants, event and conference centers and ski and recreation centers, among others. Programs can leverage the existing degree and certificate programs in hospitality, culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, event and conference management, restaurant management and resort and recreation management. Hospitality apprenticeship programs translate well into industry occupations such as chef and head cook, baker, banquet and event manager, lodging manager and housekeeping director. Construction & Infrastructure Apprenticeships Programs in the construction & infrastructure sector will connect construction management companies, land surveying companies, civil drafting and CAD firms, state and municipal highway and transportation departments and landscaping companies, among others, with NH’s community colleges. This partnership can leverage existing degree and certificate programs in heating, ventilation and air conditioning, computer-aided design, civil engineering technology, landscape and environmental design and diesel heavy equipment technology and others. Apprenticeship programs in the construction & infrastructure sector translate well into a number of industry occupations including HVAC technician or installer, diesel/heavy equipment mechanic, pipefitter and surveying technician. Benefits to Hospitality and Construction & Infrastructure Employers in each sector have the flexibility to identify coursework and programs that best align with the needs of their businesses. They may also take advantage of the Business and Training Centers at each college to develop customized, non-credit training. Employers can use an apprenticeship as a solution to upskill their current workforce, as well as to hire new employees, all of whom will work onsite and earn wages from the employer while receiving an education that supports their career path.

(July 10, 2025 ) – ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of NH (CCSNH), and A Place to Grow LLC, a nature-based early learning center, have collaborated to create an Early Childhood Education Pre-Apprenticeship Program for high school students who are at least 14 years old, as well as recent high school graduates and career changers. The program’s goal is to encourage young people to pursue careers in early childhood education, a field facing significant staffing shortages in New Hampshire. Pre-apprenticeship participants dedicate eight to 10 hours at A Place to Grow’s Brentwood, Durham, or Salem locations to shadow early childhood educators and receive hands-on experience in the field. They assist teachers at A Place to Grow to learn about creating daily routines, implementing curriculum and promoting play-based learning. “The program is designed to provide high school students, graduates, and career changers with an opportunity to explore a career in early childhood education with a low time commitment but high- impact experience,” explained Liz Arcieri, developer of high school programs for ApprenticeshipNH. The Early Childhood Education Pre-Apprenticeship can lead to an extended learning opportunity and high school credits through programs at Exeter High School, Seacoast School of Technology and Salem High School. Arcieri said that outreach is underway to extend the program to additional high schools in communities served by A Place to Grow. Jennifer Legere, owner/director of A Place to Grow, has taken a leadership role in other workforce development initiatives to increase childcare capacity in New Hampshire. A Place to Grow collaborated with ApprenticeshipNH, New Hampshire’s Office of Apprenticeship, and other stakeholders in 2024 to create the nation’s first Registered Early Childhood Director Apprenticeship Program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. The Registered Apprenticeship is designed to build additional childcare capacity in New Hampshire by training more childcare professionals to start and operate businesses. Legere encourages anyone considering entering the field to explore the Pre-Apprenticeship Program. “Pre-Apprenticeship Programs are a powerful way to experience the joy and purpose of this work with no pressure and no long-term commitment. Just one day can change everything. If you fall in love with the field, we’ll be right here to walk beside you through your entire learning journey and professional growth,” she commented. The Pre-Apprenticeship Program at A Place to Grow is designed to build knowledge and skills to transition to an Early Childhood Education Registered Apprenticeship Program, which combines paid, on-the-job learning with education through CCSNH. Pre-apprenticeships at A Place to Grow’s Brentwood, Durham, and Salem locations are available now.

(July 20, 2022) – Healthcare is one of New Hampshire’s largest and fastest growing industries, and a sector that has had a surge in open positions over the past two years. To help meet these needs across the state, ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), has expanded its partnership with Concord Hospital to offer two medical assistant (MA) Registered Apprenticeship programs. Using ApprenticeshipNH’s “earn while you learn” model, this program will be offered at Concord Hospital’s facilities in Concord and Laconia, with related classroom instruction at NHTI-Concord’s Community College and Lakes Region Community College (LRCC). The programs will prepare students to become Certified Clinical Medical Assistants and help to fill in-demand positions. “We are excited to expand our partnership with Concord Hospital and add two new medical assistant Registered Apprenticeship programs,” said Tracey Jackson, CCSNH ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “This program offers students a well-supported pathway to enter the healthcare profession and to position themselves for further career advancement while building a pipeline of skilled workers to fill critical positions. This is a great opportunity for apprentices to receive paid tuition, develop new skills, earn a wage and start a new career.” The Medical Assistant Registered Apprenticeship Programs include 480 hours of instruction at LRCC or NHTI, along with 3,600 hours of on-the-job training at Concord Hospital medical offices where apprentices will practice clinical and administrative skills working under the supervision of a mentor. The program will prepare students to sit for the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) national exam. Following successful completion of the program, apprentices are eligible for continued employment with Concord Hospital’s Primary Care or specialty practices. Medical assistants play a key role in patient care. Their role includes preparing patients for examination, treatment, diagnostic testing and conducting routine laboratory procedures. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment for medical assistants to grow 18 percent overall through 2030, signaling opportunities for students. “Having highly skilled medical assistants in our organization allows us to provide excellent care to the patients and families in our community,” said Jennifer Leonard, MSN, RN Clinical Process and Education Manager at Concord Hospital. “Medical assistants are a valued member of our healthcare team at Concord Hospital, and the collaboration with ApprenticeshipNH has helped us recruit talented medical assistants into our medical group.” This program expands the partnership between ApprenticeshipNH and Concord Hospital that started in 2020 with a licensed nursing assistant (LNA) Registered Apprenticeship program that included on-the-job training alongside coursework at NHTI and Manchester Community College. To date, 29 apprentices have completed the LNA and MA programs and have been hired by Concord Hospital. As a Registered Apprenticeship Program with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Office of Apprenticeship, Concord Hospital’s apprentices participate in an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential. The program is supported by WorkNowNH and Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA). The application is available here. ApprenticeshipNH was established in 2017 as a workforce initiative of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) and is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor to assist employers building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprentice and high school programs in high-demand sectors including advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, business and finance construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology. ApprenticeshipNH assists companies with recruiting, screening and hiring potential apprentices, as well as accessing resources in the state that help to fund apprentice training and education.

The company, an environmental and specialty services contractor with headquarters in Epping, has developed a new Registered Apprenticeship program for hazardous waste material technicians. EnviroVantage is hiring a cohort of 10 apprentices to begin training in September. “By partnering with ApprenticeshipNH and Great Bay to create this Registered Apprenticeship program, we can fill our talent pool with work-ready, highly specialized candidates and provide skills/work opportunities for underrepresented groups in the construction trade like women and veterans,” said Daniel Lopez, human resources director at EnviroVantage. “This apprenticeship program goes hand-in-hand with our goal of building solid, trustworthy relationships throughout New Hampshire.” The hazardous waste material technician Registered Apprenticeship includes 4,000 hours (roughly two years) of on-the-job training and 288 hours of classroom instruction at the EnviroVantage training facility in in Northwood with instruction taught through a partnership with Great Bay Community College (GBCC). EnviroVantage covers the cost of training and instruction. Apprentices are paid an hourly wage for time spent training on the job and in the classroom and will earn at least two pay increases over the duration of the program. Upon completing the program, hazardous waste material technician apprentices can expect to earn $25 per hour. “The wages and paid education set this apprenticeship apart,” said Emily Zeien, ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “It’s a great opportunity to do important work while gaining a long list of new skills and nationally recognized credentials and a pathway to a career.” Hazardous waste material technicians recognize and identify hazardous materials and then respond, contain and control those hazardous materials by using specialized safety equipment in accordance with community and environmental protections standards. Apprentices will have access to the necessary equipment and tools needed for their apprenticeship. Training topics will include Occupational Health and Safety (OSHA) training, First Aid training, hazardous materials (HAZMAT) training, chemistry and construction math among other topics. EnviroVantage is now accepting applications.

Watch the interview to hear about the exciting IT apprenticeships at Manchester Community College. #### ApprenticeshipNH and Sanel NAPA Launch Apprenticeship Program to Develop Frontline Talent New program offers training and education for parts sales positions in Concord and Newport Concord, N.H. (July 8, 2024) – ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of New Hampshire, has partnered with Sanel NAPA, a leading auto parts, heavy-duty truck parts, and body shop supplies distributor in northern New England, to introduce a Parts Salesperson Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP). The goal is to develop much needed frontline talent initially in two of the company’s New Hampshire locations – Concord and Newport – and look towards expanding the program to all company locations throughout New Hampshire. The two-year program blends on-the-job training in the company’s Concord and Newport locations with education that has the potential to lead to a Management Certificate from NHTI – Concord’s Community College. The Management Certificate program offers a broad background for those seeking careers in many areas of business and all courses are directly applicable to the NHTI’s associate of science degree programs. “Our apprenticeship is about building a career. It’s not just about a job – it’s about building skills like problem-solving, teamwork, communications and a lot more. It’s also about beginning a career as a parts professional and opening doors to a lifetime of opportunities, whether at Sanel NAPA or in the community,” said David T. Segal, President and COO of Sanel NAPA. Sanel NAPA contacted ApprenticeshipNH about creating a program to help recruit employees in a competitive labor market. Christi Green, Chief Human Resources Officer at Sanel NAPA, believed the comprehensive nature of the two-year, “earn while you learn” apprenticeship program would attract applicants interested in beginning their careers or transitioning to a new one in the automotive industry. “ApprenticeshipNH reached out to all their resources and built this program for us within just a few months. We have an incredible collaboration and partnership with them,” she said. The Sanel NAPA sales apprenticeship reflects the growing popularity of Registered Apprenticeships outside of the construction trades. While construction and manufacturing remain the leading industries for apprenticeships, ApprenticeshipNH, in partnership with the Office of Apprenticeship, is increasingly developing programs in healthcare, behavioral health, education, hospitality, information technology and business. “Registered Apprenticeships are a great way to develop talent so people have a path forward and companies can hire from within. This is particularly important in a tight labor market,” said Delilah Smith, the ApprenticeshipNH program developer for Sanel NAPA’s RAP. #### ApprenticeshipNH and SolutionHealth Celebrate Success of First Medical Assistant Cohort SolutionHealth, a regional healthcare network founded by Elliot Health System and Southern New Hampshire Health, is partnering with Manchester Community College and ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program within the Community College System of NH, to help employees advance to high-demand healthcare jobs within the organization. For Manchester’s Perry Spearman, this meant that an “earn while you learn” program prepared him to take on a new role as a Medical Assistant after just 12 weeks. Spearman was among the first cohort of graduates from the new Registered Medical Assistant (MA) Apprenticeship program created to address workforce needs in critical healthcare fields. “SolutionHealth allowed me to maintain a full-time wage as an emergency room tech at Elliot Hospital while participating in the apprenticeship,” said Spearman, Medical Assistant II, CCMA. “Without that benefit, I could not have afforded to join the program. All the elements of the apprenticeship program empowered my success.” The 12-week MA apprenticeship program begins with eight weeks of full-time paid instruction at Manchester Community College. Once the related instruction is completed, the apprentices sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant National Exam. After successfully passing the exam, apprentices begin four weeks of on-the-job training at a SolutionHealth provider practice for hands-on experience. “SolutionHealth advanced my career and expanded my scope of practice in 12 short weeks and made me feel I was important to the organization and needed,” said Spearman, who was offered at job upon graduation and is now working at Elliot Family Medicine and Pediatrics at Riverside. According to NHeconomy.com, as one of the state’s largest industries, healthcare in New Hampshire is surging and expected to grow at least 15.7 percent through 2026―signaling an immense opportunity for job seekers. “The medical assistant apprentice program with SolutionHealth is proving successful in helping solve the workforce puzzle in New Hampshire,” said Tracey Jackson, CCSNH’s ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “The healthcare industry’s need for skilled employees is significant and this program helps fill these crucial employment needs.” For SolutionHealth, the apprenticeship program has been vital in helping to train and upskill employees, such as Spearman, to fill crucial healthcare roles while taking on more responsibility and increasing their earning potential. “SolutionHealth is committed to finding new ways to attract and retain talent to our organizations to care for our those in communities now and for years to come,” said Leonard Pansa, Interim Chief Human Resources Officer for SolutionHealth. “Staffing across the healthcare industry has faced serious challenges. Our ongoing partnership with the Community College System of New Hampshire is one example of how we are overcoming these challenges. We are grateful to Manchester Community College for their dedication to working with us to grow talent for Elliot Health System and Southern New Hampshire Health.” Spearman is one example of success from the ApprenticeshipNH and SolutionHealth partnership, which has led the two organizations to continue working together to address workforce challenges in healthcare. “We are just getting started—more opportunities are ahead in our work together,” Pansa added. #### ApprenticeshipNH and Wentworth by the Sea Hotel Launch NH Hospitality Program ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), and Wentworth by the Sea Hotel, a resort on the New Hampshire Seacoast, are partnering with Nashua Community College (NCC) and Great Bay Community College (GBCC) to begin offering a Restaurant Cook Registered Apprenticeship program. Using ApprenticeshipNH’s “earn while you learn” model, apprentices will have the opportunity to begin a new career in the culinary industry while completing coursework, developing new skills and simultaneously earning a wage, enabling Wentworth by the Sea Hotel to fill in-demand culinary positions. “Creating a partnership with a historic grand resort like Wentworth by the Sea Hotel will bring outstanding opportunities to area students looking for employment in a world-class property in the hospitality industry,” said Tracey Jackson, CCSNH ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “What a perfect time to start a new career during the height of New Hampshire’s summer tourist season, gain invaluable learning experiences and become part of this high-demand workforce in New Hampshire.” The three-year Restaurant Cook program combines over 6,000 hours of on-the-job training for restaurant and line cooks with 478 hours of coursework in culinary at NCC and hospitality at GBCC. Each apprentice will be paired with a chef mentor at Wentworth by the Sea Hotel who will support them through each stage of the program to learn and master planning, preparing and cooking a variety of meals. In a competency-based program, apprentices will have the opportunity for progressive wage increases. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for cooks is projected to grow 26 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations and signaling strong employment opportunities. “Wentworth by the Sea Hotel began exploring apprenticeship opportunities in 2019 and was ready to finalize the registered apprenticeship program but it was forced to be put on hold,” said Executive Chef Lee Michael of Wentworth by the Sea Hotel. “Partnering with CCSNH and ApprenticeshipNH will allow us to fill critical culinary roles at Wentworth by the Sea Hotel during our busy summer season. Successful Cook Apprentices will be motivated with an eye for detail, a high sense of team spirit, pride and the drive and desire to not just meet but exceed guest’s expectations to be successful in the hospitality industry with opportunities for growth and advancement at our location as well as over 100 sister properties.” As a registered apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Office of Apprenticeship, Wentworth by the Sea and its apprentices participate in an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential. ### The ApprenticeshipNH was established in 2017 and is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor to assist employers in building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprentice and high school programs in high-demand sectors including advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, business and finance construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology.

(November 26, 2024) – ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of NH (CCSNH), hosted 250 apprentices, employers and community partners at the second annual ApprenticeshipNH Summit, an event dedicated to celebrating apprenticeship programs as a successful workforce expansion solution in New Hampshire. The November 22 event focused on strengthening the Granite State’s workforce and culminated National Apprenticeship Week. Held at NHTI – Concord’s Community College, the event included networking opportunities, Champion Award recognitions highlighting seven prominent businesses and individuals, interactive workshops and expert insights from industry leaders.  “Over the past decade or so apprenticeships have seen a resurgence in this country,” said Dr. Mark Rubinstein, CCSNH chancellor. “It’s through the energy, intellect and aptitude of our apprentices that this form of education is taking hold again, both here and across the country. As 2024 draws to a close, we are rapidly approaching 700,000 registered apprenticeships nationwide. In doing so, we are blending experiential learning and related instruction in ways that meet the needs of more students, including adult learners who need an “earn while you learn” model, and those students—of any age—for whom hands-on learning is the mode of instructional engagement that serves them best.”  ApprenticeshipNH offers technical assistance to employers in creating apprenticeship programs. The program works to provide financial support to apprentices, pre-apprentices, and employers as well as technical assistance to develop and manage programs.   “Since its inception in 2017, ApprenticeshipNH has been working diligently to develop Registered Apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships programs across New Hampshire,” said Anne Banks, CCSNH apprenticeship programs manager. “Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with the Federal Office of Apprenticeship, hundreds of employers and career seekers, community organizations, state agencies, high school educators and leaders, post-secondary institutions, professors, tradespeople and unions. Together, we have created over 110 programs and supported more than 1,200 apprentices on their career journeys.”   Registered Apprenticeships Programs combine on-the-job training and classroom education to increase an apprentice’s skills and meet employer needs. They have proven to be an effective way for businesses to attract and retain employees and provide an opportunity for job seekers to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages as they develop new skills in high-demand fields.  “The State of New Hampshire recognizes that Registered Apprenticeship, a proven and industry-driven model, is a key strategy to improving job quality, and creating access to good-paying, family-sustaining jobs for all,” stated NH Governor Chris Sununu in a proclamation declaring November 17-23 National Apprenticeship Week in NH.   After the proclamation was read, seven Champion Awards were given out to recognize organizations and individuals within the apprenticeship community. They include:  Innovative Youth Pre-apprenticeship Award: NHTI, Manchester Community College and ABC NH/VT for the Summer Carpenter Pre-apprenticeship Program.  Innovative Adult Pre-apprenticeship Award: International Institute of New England and Elliot Hospital for creating the ESOL for healthcare pre-apprenticeship that includes industry specific language instruction combined with job shadowing that leads to interviews for three apprenticeship occupations including LNA, medical assistant and patient service.  Community Partner Award: International Institute of New England for their commitment to referrals to apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship opportunities and the promotion of registered apprenticeship and ApprenticeshipNH.  New Occupation Award: A Place to Grow for creating the nation’s first Registered Early Childhood Director Apprenticeship Program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor  Career and Technical Education Center Award: Concord Regional Technical Center for being a strong high school partner.  Overall Business Partner Award: Bensonwood, a business partner that promotes registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship and for their collaboration with ApprenticeshipNH.  Apprentice Champion Award: Alex Pecoraro from Evari for consistently going above and beyond, showing a level of dedication and drive that is inspirational for others.  ApprenticeshipNH, in partnership with the Federal Office of Apprenticeship in Concord, addresses workforce needs throughout the state by helping employers create a pipeline of skilled workers through combined classroom instruction and on-the-job training in an “earn-while-you-learn” model. With funding from federal grants, ApprenticeshipNH develops partnerships between NH’s seven community colleges and local employers within key sectors of the state’s economy while also providing support recruiting apprentices for high-demand career opportunities.   The total funding of the ApprenticeshipNH initiative is $9.57 million with 99% funded through the following US Department of Labor-Employment and Training Administration Grants at the dollar amounts indicated: State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula (SAEF) Grants-$3.77 million and Apprenticeship Building America Grant (ABA) – $5.8 million.

(August 21, 2025 ) – ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), has partnered with Associated Builders and Contractors of New Hampshire/ Vermont (ABC NH/VT), and Elm Grove Companies, a leading New Hampshire property management and real estate development firm, to create New Hampshire’s first Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) for maintenance technicians. The two-year program combines paid, on-the-job training at Elm Grove Companies with over 300 hours of related coursework at Manchester Community College (MCC) and NHTI-Concord’s Community College. Maintenance technicians are responsible for upkeep, repairs, troubleshooting and customer service to keep multifamily or commercial properties running smoothly. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that demand for maintenance technicians will grow through at least 2033, yet New Hampshire employers report that a wave of retirements have created vacancies that have been challenging to fill. Matt Menning, a principal at Elm Grove Companies, says that developing a maintenance technician apprenticeship was part of a strategic decision to meet workforce needs by creating programs that draw prospective employees to the company to advance their careers. “Our goal is to offer the tools, training, pay, benefits and career pathways that attract qualified employees to us,” he explained. When Elm Grove found that a maintenance technician RAP did not exist in the Granite State, the company approached ABC NH/VT in 2024 about creating one modeled on the association’s carpentry apprenticeship. ABC NH/VT quickly agreed to be a sponsor to administer, manage and set standards for the new apprenticeship program. “The Maintenance Technician Apprenticeship program is a vital step toward addressing the critical workforce shortage in New Hampshire’s construction and maintenance industries,” said Joshua Reap, president and CEO of ABC NH/VT. “This initiative not only equips individuals with high-demand skills but also strengthens our communities by fostering career pathways that offer competitive wages and long-term stability. As a sponsor of the program, we are proud to partner with Elm Grove Companies to create this pathway.” In January 2025, ApprenticeshipNH joined ABC NH/VT and Elm Grove to provide technical assistance to create the new RAP, help secure state and federal approvals, and provide scholarships to help cover the educational costs for apprentices. “One of our challenges was to develop a curriculum that complemented on-the-job training since maintenance technicians do so many things, from HVAC and welding to carpentry and mechanical repairs,” commented Tracey Jackson, coordinator for the East central and Southern Hubs for ApprenticeshipNH. ApprenticeshipNH worked with MCC and NHTI to develop a module of courses that cover introductory electricity, carpentry, drywalling, HVAC, OSHA training, CPR and more. Scholarships for the academic costs for the apprenticeship are available through ApprenticeshipNH. Coursework at MCC and NHTI accompanies structured, paid on-the-job training at Elm Grove Companies. Participants are tested on core competencies before advancing through the two-year apprenticeship. “Maintenance technician is a professional job with a lot of variety and customer interaction,” said Menning. “We wanted to blaze a trail with the first apprenticeship to teach required skills and break the stigma that maintenance technician is ‘less than’ other trades. This will be beneficial for Elm Grove as well as for the industry as a whole,” commented Menning. Elm Grove Companies is accepting applications now for the new Maintenance Technician Registered Apprenticeship Program. For more information, please email apprenticeship@elmgrovecompanies.com.

The new Precision Inspector Apprenticeship developed by BAE Systems kicks off on Monday, July 12, 2021. The program will include 4,000 hours of paid on-the-job training and five weeks of full-time classroom instruction facilitated through NCC. The program will also include IPC-A-610 training, an industry-recognized certification. Precision inspectors’ responsibilities include visually inspecting in-process and completed products. They will also use a variety of methods to accept, reject or rework defective or malfunctioning items. Training topics will include metrology, blueprint reading, geometric dimensioning and tolerance and visual inspection standards. “This apprenticeship program is a unique opportunity for someone to enter an exciting career in a growing field, while also learning new skills that can be immediately put to use at one of New Hampshire’s largest employers,” said Emily Zeien, ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “Through this collaboration with BAE Systems and NCC, precision inspector apprentices will earn an hourly wage for time spent learning in the classroom and training on the job.” “We are very excited to work with ApprenticeshipNH to launch the first registered quality inspection apprenticeship program,” said Imtiaz Uddin, Vice President of Quality for BAE Systems’ Electronic Systems sector. “Not only will this help us bolster our talent pipeline, it will also allow us to provide education, employment opportunities and a potential career path to members of our community.” To learn more, visit apprenticeshipnh.com or contact Vanessa Rashid, apprentice outreach and resource coordinator, at vrashid@ccsnh.edu or 603.289.9429 #### ApprenticeshipNH Collaborates with LandVest to Develop Registered Apprenticeship Program for Forest Management Services Paid on-the-job training and education creates accelerated career path to meet LandVest’s workforce needs Concord, N.H. (April 20, 2026) –  ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), LandVest, a national leader in integrated real estate, land investment, and forest management services, have partnered to create a new Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) to meet growing workforce needs for LandVest’s Forest Management division. LandVest is the largest broker of institutional timberland in the U.S. and the second-largest forestry service provider in the nation. NHTI-Concord’s Community College, White Mountains Community College (WMCC) and the University of New Hampshire (UNH) will support the program through coursework connected with work-based learning. The 12-to-18-month RAP combines 2,000 hours of paid, on-the-job training as a Forest and Conservation Specialist at LandVest with a minimum of 144 hours of related coursework at NHTI, WMCC and UNH. Apprentices who successfully complete both the academic and workforce components will be invited to apply for full-time positions with LandVest’s Forest Resources division based in Concord, N.H. “LandVest had specific requirements for the education they needed for their employees. Working together, we built a curriculum that was tailored to those needs across New Hampshire’s public higher education system,” commented Delilah Smith, hub developer at ApprenticeshipNH. ApprenticeshipNH collaborated with LandVest to develop the apprenticeship, secure approval from the U.S. Department of Labor, and coordinate coursework with CCSNH and UNH. LandVest covers the cost of tuition and materials for an introductory course in dendrology (tree identification) at WMCC. The percentage of LandVest’s contribution for subsequent classes, including those at NHTI and UNH, depends on the grades received in each prior class. “There has been a mismatch between what colleges were teaching and what we needed employees to know, so we were retraining graduates. Through this apprenticeship, we can ensure that employees have the skills and knowledge that we need, while also opening opportunities to a much bigger applicant pool. An apprenticeship where you are paid from day one is a great launching pad to a good career,” said Steven Hawkes, vice president of LandVest’s Forest Resources division. According to Hawkes, a single presentation by ApprenticeshipNH and Doug Cullen, workforce development manager at New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association, convinced him that an RAP was the best way for LandVest to expand its labor pool and create a skilled workforce for its Forest Resources division. Working with ApprenticeshipNH, LandVest began the process to establish the RAP in October 2025 and had all necessary approvals just three months later. The company will be accepting applications to the program until May 1 and anticipates bringing its first apprentices on board in early July. #### ApprenticeshipNH Collaborates with SCS Head Start to Launch Teacher’s Assistant/Associate Teacher Registered Apprenticeship Apprenticeship addresses critical shortage of early childhood educators in Cheshire and Sullivan Counties Keene, NH (September 29, 2025 ) – ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of NH (CCSNH), and River Valley Community College (RVCC) have collaborated with Southwestern Community Services (SCS) Head Start to create a two-year Early Childhood Education Teacher’s Assistant/Associate Teacher Registered Apprenticeship. The Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) launched September 2025 and is open for enrollment on a rolling basis throughout the year. The new RAP blends 4,000 hours of paid on-the-job training at SCS Head Start with online and classroom instruction leading to an associate degree in Early Childhood Education from RVCC. Participants may be eligible for scholarships available through ApprenticeshipNH to offset tuition costs. “New Hampshire is experiencing a critical shortage of early childhood educators and childcare providers. The SCS Head Start RAP will help address this shortage by creating a career path for individuals looking to gain practical experience while continuing their education,” said Michael Piaseczny, ApprenticeshipNH’s Apprenticeship Building America (ABA) Hub Developer for western New Hampshire. Operated by Southwestern Community Services and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), SCS Head Start offers a federally funded early childhood education program for income-eligible children in Cheshire and Sullivan counties. Each of the five SCS Head Start centers in Claremont, Jaffrey, Keene, Newport and Swanzey delivers comprehensive services including quality education, family support, and nutrition and health services. The part-time Teacher’s Assistant RAP is currently offered at SCS Head Start’s Claremont location and the full-time Associate Teacher RAP is offered at the Claremont, Keene and Newport locations. “We believe that investing in people is the most powerful way to build a stronger, more resilient workforce in early childhood education. We created the Registered Apprenticeship Program to provide a structured, supportive pathway for individuals, especially those from our own communities, to gain the knowledge, skills, experience, and credentials needed to thrive in early childhood education careers,” said Valery Cavadini, operations manager for SCS Head Start. The associate degree program in Early Childhood Education at RVCC integrates seamlessly with on-the-job learning at SCS Head Start. Courses combine theory with direct work with children to teach how young children develop and how their optimal development can be promoted through quality care and education. Classroom education is offered online or at RVCC’s Claremont, Keene, and Lebanon campuses. The RAP at SCS Head Start is open for applications now.

The partnership between ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of New Hampshire, Lakes Region Community College (LRCC), White Mountains Community College (WMCC) and Rotobec USA Inc., a heavy equipment manufacturer specializing in the forestry, scrap recycling, waste management, rail, and industrial markets, has established a new North Country Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP).  The multi-partner collaboration includes 324 hours of related technical instruction for participants delivered across Rotobec internal training, and WMCC and LRCC programming, with approximately two years of on-the-job training.   ApprenticeshipNH’s Christopher Lalmond, ABA Hub Developer (Northern), worked closely with college workforce development managers and program coordinators to develop the curriculum that will include AC/DC electrical theory, fluid power systems, forklift operation, OSHA 30 certification and crane operation, among other necessary factory floor soft skills.  “As a North Country resident myself, there are people in my community who work in forestry and at Rotobec,” said Lalmond. “These training programs lead to more than a job— they lead to supporting our North Country community. It’s gratifying to help build something high-quality that directly benefits the people I live and work alongside.”  Rotobec is a multinational manufacturer with facilities in Sainte-Justine, Quebec, Canada, as well as Littleton and Groveton, New Hampshire. The organization is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its U.S. operations in September, a major milestone that coincides with the launch of this new RAP, underscoring Rotobec’s long-term commitment to investing in its workforce and the North Country communities it calls home.  “This partnership is an investment not only in Rotobec’s future, but in the future of our employees and the communities where we operate,” said Melissa Charbonneau, Human Resource & Safety Manager for Rotobec USA.  The RAP also opens the door to future opportunities, including pre-apprenticeship pathways and connections with local Career and Technical Education programs, creating a pipeline for North Country high school students to explore careers in advanced manufacturing close to home.  #### ApprenticeshipNH on track to hit goals The ApprenticeshipNH program continues to gain traction and is on track to hit goals for helping NH businesses upskill employees. In the five sectors the program serves, ApprenticeshipNH continues to be a valuable tool for New Hampshire companies looking for workforce resources during a period of unprecedented low unemployment. In 2018, the program more than doubled in terms of employer participation. It has seen a strong start to 2019 with five new partnerships starting up in the first two months of the year. ApprenticeshipNH is a grant-funded effort that seeks to address workforce needs in New Hampshire through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training. Participating sectors include hospitality, construction & infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, information technology and healthcare. It is operated through the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). Since receiving the grant from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in November of 2016, CCSNH has made significant progress toward its goals to help solve NH’s workforce challenges through the expansion of Registered Apprenticeships. The program expanded last fall when the hospitality and construction & infrastructure sectors were added. Meeting and exceeding expectations The original goals of the grant called for developing 25 new programs and registering more than 300 apprentices by the fall of 2020. As of the end of February 2019, 21 programs have been developed and have had 126 enrolled in these programs. “We are so pleased to see the growth within these programs and to hear from employers and employees about what a valuable resource the ApprenticeshipNH program has become. Our first year was devoted to getting the word out to employers and introducing them to a new model for retraining and onboarding employees. 2018 was when we really saw traction, with 12 new programs launching at businesses across the state,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH at CCSNH. Registered Apprenticeship is a work-based training program that includes both classroom instruction through a NH community college and paid on-the-job training. Programs are designed to meet national standards through the U.S DOL. In addition to funding available in the grant, the ApprenticeshipNH staff works with employers to help determine eligibility for funding from other workforce development initiatives. These initiatives include the NH Job Training Fund, Workforce Opportunity Innovation Act (WOIA) and others. The two sectors that have seen the most engagement to date are healthcare and manufacturing. ApprenticeshipNH programs are helping healthcare and manufacturing companies address workforce needs in many distinct occupations, including: Medical assistant (MA) Maintenance machinist Non-destructive testing CNC operator Pharmacy technician Licensed nursing assistant (LNA) Employers across the state benefitting from the program include: Stonyfield Organic, Londonderry LRGHealthcare, Laconia Safran Aerospace, Rochester Spraying Systems, Merrimack CVS Health in Manchester The North Country Healthcare Consortium, Berlin, Littleton and Lancaster Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions, Exeter “The Registered Apprenticeship program allows us to work towards addressing the workforce issues we face as a company,” said Farah Ahadi, HR business partner at Cobham. “Finding job candidates with the necessary skills has become increasingly more difficult and the ApprenticeshipNH program enables us to create qualified candidates so we can fill vacant positions. It also offers us the opportunity to demonstrate our dedication to our employees by offering them the chance to improve their skills and explore additional, more advanced career paths.” ApprenticeshipNH works for these employers because it helps them stay competitive by ensuring they have the skilled, qualified staff needed. ApprenticeshipNH also helps companies provide their employees with a career path to gain training they need to move up within the company. “The ‘earn and learn’ model of apprenticeship works well for our participants because they are an employee from day one, are receiving a good income with growth opportunities, and their employer is sponsoring their education path as a component of the job. It’s a win-win for employers and employees and we’re so pleased about the program’s growth and track record,” Zeien said. Providing opportunities for employees The program has helped a wide range of individuals advance in their careers and increases earning potential. This includes individuals who were unemployed and receiving public assistance, recent high school graduates and individuals of all ages who are making a career change. Many began these programs with no education beyond a high school diploma, and through apprenticeship have the opportunity to work towards a certificate or degree at one of New Hampshire’s seven community colleges.

The two employers will hire and place apprentices into the LNA training program at White Mountains Community College (WMCC) in Littleton. The program kicks off on Tuesday, June 29, 2021. “We are excited about this partnership and look forward to bringing our first class of apprentices on board in June,” said Joanna Stevens, center executive director at Country Village Center. “We are confident that as much as our residents will benefit from having a highly-trained staff caring for them, the apprentices will find this to be a personally rewarding career path with opportunities for professional growth.” This LNA apprenticeship program includes 144 hours of paid classroom instruction at WMCC’s Littleton campus and 2,000 hours of on-the-job training. Upon completing the classroom instruction, apprentices will take the State Board of Nursing licensing exam. As apprentices become proficient and increase their skill sets, they can expect to receive pay increases throughout the apprenticeship. “Due to our location and the growing demand for the services that we provide, we consistently have needs for LNAs. The apprenticeship program is an ideal way for individuals looking for a healthcare career to become quickly licensed while receiving a paycheck,” said Louise Belanger, executive director for the Morrison Skilled Nursing Facility. The earn-learn model of ApprenticeshipNH means that apprentices are employees of the organization where they are in training and will receive full-time wages from day one as they work on honing their skills through classroom and hands-on experiences. All classes and training sessions will be held in person, following the college’s and facilities’ COVID-19 safety guidelines. “The apprenticeship program is a win-win for employers and participants,” said Emily Zeien, ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “It’s providing senior care facilities with the skilled workforce that they need to best serve their residents, but it is also providing access to a career path for the individuals who will participate.” Both employers are actively hiring for the apprenticeship, and individuals seeking a career in healthcare are encouraged to inquire ASAP.

The Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) and Recreation Assistant programs will expand access to healthcare careers for Granite Staters across New Hampshire.  “New Hampshire has the second-oldest population in the country, and the need for skilled healthcare workers has never been greater,” said Michael Piaseczny, ABA hub developer west, ApprenticeshipNH. “This partnership with Genesis HealthCare creates a direct pathway into a growing field — one where apprentices earn while they learn and gain credentials that will serve them for a lifetime.”  The LNA program was developed in collaboration with Dartmouth Health’s Geriatric Center of Excellence, and a Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) grant through the Health Resources and Services Administration. The Dartmouth GWEP collaborates with external partners to implement innovative solutions for training and educating the healthcare workforce in rural, underserved areas that care for older adults in long term settings. The program is currently piloting at three Genesis HealthCare affiliated centers in the Monadnock Region: Keene Center, Applewood Center and Pheasant Wood Center.    “Partnerships are critical to our work. By establishing the LNA apprenticeship program, ApprenticeshipNH and Genesis champions enable the GWEP to implement innovative models like the teaching nursing home and behavior rounds for dementia care, models which mutually benefits residents, staff, and learners,” said Ellen Flaherty, PhD, APRN, AGSF, FAAN, vice president of the Dartmouth Health Geriatric Center of Excellence and principal investigator of the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program.   Apprentices receive paid, hands-on training with one-on-one mentorship from experienced nurses and healthcare providers, with LNA coursework costs covered. Upon licensure, apprentices earn a portable, nationally recognized credential from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship and a clear pathway to continued career growth within Genesis HealthCare.  “Investing in the next generation of healthcare professionals is essential to ensuring high-quality care for the residents and patients we serve,” said Nicole Kaufman, chief transformation officer for Genesis HealthCare. “By partnering with ApprenticeshipNH, we are creating accessible pathways into healthcare careers, providing apprentices with hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities for continued growth within our affiliated centers.”  The Recreation Assistant program prepares apprentices to support the recreational and psychosocial needs of residents in long-term care settings, building the clinical knowledge and interpersonal skills required for quality activity programming. The approximately two-year program includes a minimum of 288 hours of related instruction drawn from WorkReadyNH professional skills training, nutrition courses offered through Great Bay Community College, River Valley Community College and American Red Cross certification. The apprenticeship provides a pathway for career growth within Genesis HealthCare affiliated centers, including the opportunity to pursue a Recreation Director role.  #### ApprenticeshipNH Partners with US Foods on Diesel Mechanics Apprenticeship Program Expanding Community College Apprenticeships Example:  How Colleges Can Anchor New Apprenticeship Partnership Networks with Large Companies In January 2020, a Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) registered apprenticeship program manager first met with representatives from US Foods to discuss a new apprenticeship program.  After multiple meetings and a pandemic pause, one and a half years later in the summer of 2021 US Foods began to enroll apprentices in their new diesel mechanics apprenticeship program.  “It took a whole village to create this program,” noted Kathleen Totten, Apprenticeship Grants Coordinator with CCSNH. US Foods has a major distribution center in southeastern New Hampshire, with a fleet of 150 trucks and an aging workforce of diesel technicians, not just locally, but also nationally throughout their 70 locations.  Since there wasn’t a diesel training program nearby, the CCSNH team identified a program at White Mountains Community College (WMCC) in northern New Hampshire.  Fortunately, the college offered an online diesel mechanics program delivery option to form the foundation of the apprenticeship’s technical training program.  Having an online training program not only makes the training accessible for the southeastern New Hampshire location, but also for other US Foods distribution centers around the country. Working together with company officials, college staff, and the US Department of Labor’s state director, the project team developed the three-year apprenticeship program by modifying an existing work process schedule approved by the U.S. Office of Apprenticeship.  The Workforce Development office at Great Bay Community College had an established relationship with US Foods through a corporate training program. They collaborated with (WMCC) in developing non-credit diesel technology theory courses as part of the related instruction. The lab topics were incorporated into the work process schedule. In addition to the diesel technology courses, OSHA safety training and a refrigeration course were added to provide skills for their technicians that were valued by US Foods. In describing how to effectively partner with a business in developing a new apprenticeship program, Totten advises college peers to emphasize that apprenticeships represent “a long-term solution, part of the company’s workforce development strategy to develop talent pipelines together.  Colleges can help businesses pull together all of the components and partners needed for an apprenticeship, and utilize grants to offset part of the cost of training.  Apprenticeships can also help companies acquire talent upon program entry into college, because if they wait until a student graduates, students are often already spoken for.” #### ApprenticeshipNH Programs Gaining Traction Representatives From Catholic Medical Center, CVS Health and Granite State Manufacturing Report on Program Engagement Representatives from three companies that have been participating in a new program designed to advance the skills of current employees through on-the-job and classroom training are already seeing benefits. On June 15, they discussed their involvement in the ApprenticeshipNH program before an audience of business leaders and reported that the program is having a positive impact on their workforce. Catholic Medical Center ApprenticeshipNH Programs Catholic Medical Center (CMC) launched a new medical assistant registered apprenticeship program through a partnership with Manchester Community College (MCC) and ApprenticeshipNH. The program includes: 480 hours of classroom instruction 3,600 hours of on-the-job training At the completion of the program, apprentices will be prepared to sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam. “At CMC, we are using the ApprenticeshipNH programs to create career pathways. Many of our employees never had an opportunity to go to school after high school. This program provides them with an opportunity to get an education while working, helps improve employee retention, and allows these individuals to grow professionally,” said Emily Gaudette, director of organizational development at Catholic Medical Center. CVS Health ApprenticeshipNH Programs CVS Health’s apprenticeship program is designed to train the company’s current CVS Pharmacy employees who want to transition into a pharmacy technician position. The program includes: 156 hours of classroom instruction, to be completed at Manchester Community College 2,000 hours of on-the-job training CVS is a national sponsor of apprenticeship programs across the US and this program represents their first efforts in New Hampshire. “Through our nationally certified pharmacy tech training program, we are able to take individuals through a pre-apprenticeship program, followed by a competency-based apprenticeship program that can reduce the hours required for on the job training and enable some participants to complete the program and have a higher rate of pay. Participants see this as an investment in them since they receive national certification as a pharmacy tech that can be used future employment anywhere,” said Jonathan DaSilva, regional learning center manager for CVS Health. Granite State Manufacturing ApprenticeshipNH Programs Granite State Manufacturing partnered with Nashua Community College (NCC) and ApprenticeshipNH to enable employees to gain new skills and pursue more advanced, alternative career options. The program includes: More than 500 hours of classroom instruction Two years of on-the-job training Apprentices will receive the training necessary to become CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machinists. In this role, they will work with computer-controlled machines that help to manufacture precision parts and assemblies.  “Our new partnership with ApprenticeshipNH is an opportunity for us to provide our employees with the skills they need to advance in their careers,” said Hope Kelly, director of human resources at Granite State Manufacturing. “It is one of our main company objectives to access talented and skilled workers to fill the capacity for our growing business. As a government contractor, we are limited in the workforce we can hire from the outside. We are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to our employees, who we value so much, and to obtain both financial and consultative assistance to do so. We are dedicated to them and offering them access to an opportunity like this is just another way we can show our appreciation for all of their hard work.”  Looking ahead More New Hampshire companies will be able to learn from the ApprenticeshipNH programs. Recently, the U.S. Department of Labor recently announced that the ApprenticeshipNH program has been awarded an additional grant that will extend the program through October 2020.

The extension will help train an additional 200 or more apprentices so they can advance their careers and earnings in New Hampshire, and will bolster efforts to build capacity for apprenticeships at employers across the state. This continuation funding of $847,770 will extend the grant from April 30, 2019, and brings the total investment in the program to over $2 million in federal funds. ApprenticeshipNH Program status The program currently supports apprenticeship programs in healthcare, advanced manufacturing and technology and is run through the Community College System of NH (CCSNH). It features onsite training at the employer locations and complimentary classroom education provided through the CCSNH campuses. To date, 11 new programs have been launched, four existing programs were expanded and nearly 100 individuals have enrolled. “We have been able to build some great partnerships with New Hampshire businesses through the ApprenticeshipNH program and have many more under development. The additional funds and the extension of the grant will help us fully develop these and share more successful models of how employees have been upskilled into better jobs with improved pay while enhancing their skills at the workplace and in the classroom,” said Ross Gittell, chancellor of CCSNH. New partnerships: Amphenol Printed Circuits, Manchester Community College and Catholic Medical Center The program, which also goes under the name of EarnLearnNH, fosters partnerships such as the ones recently established between Manchester Community College (MCC) and Amphenol Printed Circuits of Nashua and Catholic Medical Center. Amphenol, a military and commercial manufacturer of printed circuits, has its first cohort of employees going through the program to be trained as maintenance technicians. This apprenticeship program includes 606 hours of classroom instruction and 6,000 hours of on-the-job training. Apprentices will also receive pay increases over the course of the apprenticeship as they develop and retain new skills. The Medical Assisting program at Catholic Medical Center provides opportunities for the company’s existing employees in entry-level positions to transition into a career in healthcare.  It includes 480 hours of classroom instruction, as well as 3,600 hours of on-the-job training. Looking ahead “The ApprenticeshipNH team is very excited to know that we can continue this important work through October 2020 and build off the work done to date. ApprenticeshipNH is an important piece of the workforce puzzle.

Focusing on the Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Information Technology sectors, the ApprenticeshipNH Program provides workers with invaluable opportunities to pursue highly-skilled, high-paying jobs, and opportunities for employers seeking to build a qualified workforce in NH. The program is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. #### ApprenticeshipNH Reports Increasing Popularity of Pre-Apprenticeships Program enables job seekers to test drive careers and employers to build training continuum Concord, NH (April 27, 2026 ) – On April 9, 2026, ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of NH (CCSNH), partnered with area employers to host the “Pre-Apprenticeship Connection Summit” at NHTI – Concord’s Community College. More than 60 attendees learned about Pre-Apprenticeship Programs as a potential pathway to Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) through information sessions and educational games. Pre-Apprenticeship Programs combine classroom learning or online tools with on-site job experience to provide individuals with workplace exposure so they can clarify career goals and employers can evaluate potential apprentices. Pre-apprenticeships are typically three months or less and may offer a modest stipend. “Across New Hampshire and beyond, we’re seeing a surge of interest in Pre-Apprenticeship Programs because they meet people where they are, opening doors to career pathways, building confidence, and creating real connections between learners and employers. Pre-apprenticeship has become a critical entry point, especially for youth and those exploring new careers. Events like the Connection Summit bring that momentum to life,” said Brianna Hayward, grant manager at ApprenticeshipNH and a speaker at the event. New Hampshire employers are increasingly turning to Pre-Apprenticeship Programs to identify strong candidates for RAPs as early as possible. Jen Legere, owner/director of A Place to Grow, a nature-based early learning center, said she had to get creative as it became increasingly difficult to find employees. She created a formalized workforce funnel, starting with pre-apprenticeships for participants as young as 14, then layering on three different RAPs for job positions with increasing amounts of responsibility. Like A Place to Grow, many employers offering Pre-Apprenticeship Programs take advantage of the resources offered by ApprenticeshipNH, including WorkReadyNH and ACT WorkKeys, self-paced online modules aligned with the ACT WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate. Southern New Hampshire Health (SNHH) went a step farther to apply grant funding through ApprenticeshipNH to develop its own career assessment tool. The custom online assessment helps pre-apprentices clarify career goals. “The long-term goal of the pre-apprenticeship is to enhance the healthcare workforce in New Hampshire by having the right people in the right positions. You do that by helping individuals choose and prepare for careers that suit them,” said Viktoriya Dribinskaya, director of workforce development at SNHH. After participants take the online assessments, they meet with SNHH staff in the top careers identified for them to ask questions, learn about day-to-day responsibilities, and chart an educational path to achieve career objectives. If an apprenticeship is the appropriate next step, SNHH guarantees an interview for any applicants who have completed the Pre-Apprenticeship Program. “If they come work for us, that’s awesome, but it is fine if they go to another health organization because the important part is building an understanding of the right career and educational path for them so we can meet the workforce needs across the state,” explained Dribinskaya.

The goal of the exchange program was to provide Berufliche Schule Pinneberg student apprentices with a job shadow experience to gain a hands-on understanding of how American business operates and to exchange perspectives on workforce development strategies. Germany’s apprenticeship system is widely seen as one of the most effective school-to-work pipelines in the world. Like NH’s ApprenticeshipNH model, it uses an earn-while-you-learn approach that blends on-the-job training with classroom learning, incorporating a strong employer role in shaping the experience to ensure students gain immediate workforce skills and high employability. “It is validating to see our New Hampshire program reflect many of the successful strategies used in the time-tested German model,” said Kristine Dudley, director of Workforce Training at CCSNH. “Our programs ensure students incur little to no debt, encompass a wide range of occupational fields, and include industry- and nationally recognized credentials. It’s a proven and creative way for employers to build a strong local workforce pipeline and for students and job seekers to engage in an employment and learning pathway.” To date, more than 100 employers and 1,500 individual participants have participated in the ApprenticeshipNH program, in fields that range from construction and healthcare to business, early childhood education and hospitality. “One thing we can learn from our German counterparts is how to talk about apprenticeship,” said Dudley. “Outside the US, it is viewed as a highly respected alternative to the traditional university experience. Students who participate in our apprenticeship programs gain early income and independence, experience very low rates of unemployment, and can participate in globally competitive industries. Like the community colleges themselves, apprenticeship is a smart choice. While it is deeply valued by those who know, there is room to help more people realize the strong benefits it conveys to enable students of all interests and learning styles to land in a rewarding job with advancement potential and avoid student debt.” The German visitors were housed in residence halls at NHTI, Concord’s Community College and participated in educational opportunities at both NHTI and Manchester Community College (MCC). While in New Hampshire, they visited employer sites including Grappone Automotive Group, Delta Dental, Eagle Point Investment Advisors and the state office of Business and Economic Affairs; toured sites that include the NH State House, the League of NH Craftsmen, Gibson’s Bookstore and Bensonwood Custom Home Builders, and participated in cultural and social activities. #### ApprenticeshipNH, NH Timberland Owners Association, and HB Logging/HB Trucking Develop Apprenticeship Program for NH Timber Industry Paid, on-the-job training and education creates career path to attract younger workers Concord, N.H. (November 6, 2025) – The first federally approved apprenticeship for the Granite State’s timber industry is the new Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) for operating engineers offered at both HB Logging and HB Trucking in Monroe. ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of NH (CCSNH) and White Mountains Community College (WMCC) partnered with New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association (NHTOA), HB Logging, and HB Trucking to create this new workforce training pipeline. “We hope the new apprenticeship programs at HB Logging and HB Trucking serve as models for other companies in northern New Hampshire that are looking for practical approaches to address workforce needs,” said Christopher Lalmond, ApprenticeshipNH’s hub developer for northern New Hampshire. The two- or three-year apprenticeship combines a minimum of 4,000 hours of paid, on-the-job training with approximately 290 hours of related coursework. Participants complete two courses from the Diesel Heavy Equipment Technology program offered at WMCC’s Littleton Academic Center; industry-recognized training and coursework in NHTOA’s Professional Loggers Program; and professional skills training through WorkReadyNH, a tuition-free professional development program offered by CCSNH. Doug Cullen, workforce development manager at NHTOA, says the idea for an apprenticeship in the timber industry originated with Andrew Fast, a forest industry specialist at the University of New Hampshire’s Extension. “This is an excellent example of New Hampshire’s community college and university system working collaboratively for the benefit of the state’s industries and economy, with NHTOA acting as a supportive intermediary,” commented Cullen. Heath Bunnell said that New Hampshire’s logging industry faces significant workforce shortages, primarily due to an aging workforce, difficulty attracting younger generations, and a lack of skilled labor. HB Logging provides logging, excavation, and wood processing services in northern New Hampshire and Vermont. The company’s transportation needs are met by HB Trucking. Both companies are owned by Bunnell, who was named Outstanding Logger by NHTOA in 2019. The RAP is part of a multifaceted effort to address the workforce challenges at Bunnell’s two companies. “Apprenticeships are a way to bring younger workers in to see what we do and see that it can be a great career,” he said. Bunnell added that a RAP, which is approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, meets requirements for federal contracts, enhancing his company’s ability to compete for major jobs. The RAPs at HB Logging and HB Trucking received federal approval in August 2025. One apprentice is currently completing the program at each company.

While 2020 presented many challenges for our programs that thrive on hands-on learning, it  created several lessons learned that can help enhance programs in 2021. It also reinforced the fact that New Hampshire employers need apprenticeship programs to fill ongoing employment needs that remained even during a pandemic. The ApprenticeshipNH Initiative, housed at the Community College System of NH (CCSNH), is funded by multiple grants  from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC). CCSNH’s first DoL grant was awarded in 2016 and the most recent grant awarded in July 2020 is designed to build apprenticeship pathways for high school students and underserved youth. The focus of all apprenticeship grants and the ApprenticeshipNH Initiative is to assist New Hampshire employers with addressing workforce needs by building Pre-Apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship programs in high-demand sectors. These programs feature an “earn-while-you-learn” model that combines hands-on job training and classroom instruction with one of the seven CCSNH colleges. Focus sectors include advanced manufacturing, construction/infrastructure, healthcare, information technology and hospitality. In 2020, we expanded into the automotive and biomedical technology sectors. Since our inception, ApprenticeshipNH has focused efforts on building partnerships with businesses who faced hiring gaps and struggled to grow. In January 2018, New Hampshire’s unemployment rate was 2.7% and dropped down to 2.4% in March 2020, right before the pandemic began to impact the economy. With unemployment levels this low, the struggle to recruit and retain employees was of significant concern to many. What’s unique about the economic upheaval associated with the pandemic is that while unemployment shot up to an unprecedented 17.1% in April, it was down to 6.6% in August and ended 2020 at 3.8% in NH. In short, many employers continue to have staffing and skills gaps, but it’s much more challenging to recruit and train employees due to the ongoing effects of this year.   Creativity Like many, ApprenticeshipNH’s onsite work with employers came to a near halt in mid-March. Once some were able to come back to work, creativity was required to help our business partners put together remote or socially distanced apprenticeships. Hands-on programs such as training licensed nursing assistants (LNAs) and medical assistants (MAs) had to move to remote programming. Manufacturing companies had to redesign shop floors to handle social distancing. Hospitality programs had to take a pause. ApprenticeshipNH’s team – operating remotely – worked to adjust the strategy to the new normal internally, and figure out how to continue to promote these programs to employers and help existing partnerships move forward.   Patience Being patient and working through these challenges did result in the launch of five new programs with Hillsborough County Nursing Home, AdvantEdge Healthcare Solution, NH Ball Bearing Peterborough, Morrison Assisted Living and Coos County Family Health Services. It also resulted in the expansion of eight existing programs with Summit Packaging, Catholic Medical Center, Spraying Systems, ARCH Medical, Senior Helpers, NH Ball Bearing Laconia, Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Palmer & Sicard.   Flexibility We learned that for high demand fields such as LNAs, the challenges that faced apprenticeship in 2020 could be overcome. ApprenticeshipNH scaled up a strong LNA model in 2019 with Catholic Medical Center, who already had a strong relationship with Manchester Community College. They had built a medical assistant (MA) apprenticeship that was a quality model that was working exceptionally well. ApprenticeshipNH replicated that model, ran several more programs in 2020 in different parts of the state and with different colleges, and are excited to have planned LNA and MA apprenticeship programs with Concord Hospital, Core Physicians, and Catholic Medical Center launching in 2021.   Lessons learned Apprenticeship NH also learned that even though the unemployment rate skyrocketed and there were many more people out of work, it didn’t automatically equate to people being prepared to enter into an apprenticeship program. Many people were not working because their lives were drastically changed. They were home with their children learning remotely and facing new barriers around childcare and transportation. More unemployed people did not automatically equal more people being available to fill these apprenticeships spots. In 2021, ApprenticeshipNH will launch partnerships in the first quarter with Concord Hospital and Smith Medical. Catholic Medical Center and Core Physicians also plan a new cohort of apprentices in March. In the new year, we will also build new partnerships, such as our collaboration with the NH Auto Dealers Association and CCSNH’s first Automotive Apprenticeship for Auto Technicians, scheduled to begin with the Spring ’21 semester, while also continuing to build on our newly funded youth pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship program. ApprenticeshipNH will also re-engage with partners and strategically identify new organizations that serve populations of people who want to work, but have barriers. For example, we recently met with an organization that offers English as a second language (ESL) training, working with people who are hard workers and want a career, but need to overcome language barriers. With a growing database of companies ApprenticeshipNH has worked with, we believe we can find creative solutions to bring more people into the workplace by aligning training through an apprenticeship that would break down these types of barriers. If your business continues to face workforce challenges or is interested in exploring apprenticeships for high school students, please contact ApprenticeshipNH. The team has used  creativity and flexibility in 2020 to address many workforce challenges through apprenticeships. ApprenticeshipNH is excited to continue this important work and create and nurture partnerships that benefit employers and employees for many years to come.   Beth Doiron is the Director of College Access and Department of Education Programs and Initiatives for CCSNH and directs workforce development and college access programs that connect high school students and adult learners to NH’s community colleges.

After participating in five weeks of full-time instruction at MCC, the LNA apprentices completed their state Board of Nursing exams on April 19. All apprentices passed their state exams and will now move on to complete 2,000 hours of full-time, paid on-the-job training at the hospital, with each apprentice assigned a mentor by CMC who will work with and guide the apprentice as they begin their new healthcare career. Please join us in congratulating this cohort of LNA apprentices: Meghan Root, Christina McAuliffe, Amy Dalaker, Fritzline Reveil, Amie Lightfoot, Samantha Hagood, and Sherman Partap. CMC has found great success in using the registered apprenticeship model to hire, train, and retain skilled workers. Since launching their apprenticeship programs for LNA and medical assisting in 2018, the company has hired and trained over 50 apprentices to work in the hospital and/or outpatient practices. Registered apprenticeship programs are a win-win for both employers and jobseekers – employers benefit from a workforce equipped with the skills they need to serve patients, and the jobseekers who become apprentices benefit from the “earn and learn” model that provides immediate employment and pay increases while apprentices learn and develop skills in a high-demand field like healthcare. Manchester Community College’s workforce development center worked closely with CMC to develop customized, front-loaded training programs that help apprentices upskill and get to work quickly.  The ApprenticeshipNH Program, a grant-funded initiative housed at the Community College System of NH (CCSNH), helped CMC build and register the apprenticeship program. To learn more about building a registered apprenticeship program for your company, please contact Jeff Casey, Business Outreach Specialist at jcasey@ccsnh.edu. About ApprenticeshipNH The ApprenticeshipNH Program, housed at the Community College System of New Hampshire, is a unique effort that prepares workers as Registered Apprentices to better compete in the modern workforce. For more information, visit www.apprenticeshipnh.com The total funding of the ApprenticeshipNH initiative is $7.29 million with 99% funded through the following US Department of Labor-Employment and Training Administration Grants at the dollar amounts indicated: Apprenticeship State Expansion (ASE) Grant-$1.35 million, State Apprenticeship Expansion (SAE) Grant- $2.05 million, American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Grant- $450,000, State Apprenticeship Expansion 2020 (SAE2020) Grant- $3.45 million. Additional scholarship support of less than 1% is provided by 3rd party scholarship grants for programs developed through the ASE and SAE grants. #### CCSNH Awarded $5.8 Million to Extend ApprenticeshipNH The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) was awarded $5.8 million by U.S. Department of Labor through the Apprenticeship Building America (ABA) grant. This funding will be used to extend ApprenticeshipNH, a CCSNH workforce initiative, by developing a hub infrastructure in four key regions that encompass the state, for ongoing sustainability and to support and expand Registered Apprenticeship programs in new industries and occupations. CCSNH is the only organization in New Hampshire to receive funding. “We greatly appreciate the ongoing support from the U.S. Department of Labor and we firmly believe this is validation for critical work that is helping individuals grow and advance and organizations address key workforce needs at a time when skilled workers are in such demand,” said Mark Rubinstein, CCSNH chancellor. “ApprenticeshipNH is a successful program that assists employers with proven recruitment strategies while supporting apprentices with earn and learn opportunities. Extending this program throughout the state will enable us to continue to expand this model to further support the communities that we serve.” Through the ApprenticeshipNH initiative, employers within key sectors of the state’s economy can implement workforce development programs to create a pipeline of skilled workers through a Registered Apprenticeship program using the “Earn While You Learn” model that combines on-the-job training and classroom education to increase an apprentice’s skills. Registered Apprenticeships are a proven solution for businesses looking to hire and retain workers while serving as an opportunity for job seekers to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages as they develop new skills in high-demand fields. The addition of the ApprenticeshipNH-High School track in 2020 is proving to play an integral role in the development of a talent pipeline by connecting sponsors with high school students through a pre-apprenticeship to Registered Apprenticeship pathway. “ApprenticeshipNH is a critical workforce program supporting New Hampshire’s economy,” said New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. “Many employers are faced with workforce shortages and ApprenticeshipNH has done a wonderful job creating a pipeline of next-generation workers. These unique programs offer a way to learn new skills while earning a wage to start a new career or get a promotion. A win-win for our state.” The hubs, proposed for the northern, southern, eastern and western parts of New Hampshire, will serve as regional operation centers providing incentive funding to support employers in developing and implementing Registered Apprenticeship programs. The efforts will expand into several new industries and occupations such as education and childcare, clean energy, and transportation and logistics. ApprenticeshipNH has a history of assisting New Hampshire employers with Registered Apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships and programs with high school students as proven recruitment strategies. Participating employers have experienced increased productivity, boosted employee retention, improved company culture and ensured knowledge transfer when filling retiring positions with qualified, skilled workers. To date, 1,167 individuals and 63 companies have benefitted from the program. ### The ApprenticeshipNH was established in 2017 and is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor to assist employers building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprentice and high school programs in high-demand sectors including advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, business and finance construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology. ApprenticeshipNH assists companies with recruiting, screening and hiring potential apprentices, as well as accessing resources in the state that help to fund apprentice training and education.

The events will take place on Thursday, November 12 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm and on Friday, November 13 from 9:00am to 10:30am. ApprenticeshipNH is an initiative that seeks to address workforce needs in specific sectors throughout the state by helping employers develop Registered Apprenticeships that combine classroom instruction and on-the-job training in an “earn-while-you-learn” model. With funding from a federal grant, ApprenticeshipNH develops partnerships between NH’s community colleges and local businesses resulting in an apprenticeship that helps employees enhance their skills in a high-demand career. The program focuses on creating Registered Apprenticeship opportunities within the information technology, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, hospitality, automotive, biotechnology, and infrastructure/construction sectors. Participants have the opportunity to earn while they learn by receiving classroom instruction and on the job training that can advance their skills to lead to new opportunities and higher pay. The virtual event being held on Thursday November 12 will announce a new partnership with the NH Automobile Dealers Association (NHADA), who recently signed paperwork to become an industry sponsor for an automotive technician registered apprenticeship program. This brand-new program will be the first of its kind in New Hampshire and will match employer’s current needs for skilled workers with jobseekers looking to begin a career in automotive technology. During the virtual event, program details will be shared as well as a discussion about how NHADA members can participate. “NHADA has a long history of partnerships with New Hampshire’s community colleges.  As a consortium sponsor of registered apprenticeship, we are very pleased and excited to partner with the ApprenticeshipNH initiative and offer this opportunity to our members, as we continue to help build the automotive workforce in NH,” said Jessica W. Dade, NHADA Education Foundation executive director. The virtual event being held on Friday November 13 will highlight apprenticeship success stories, featuring two Q&A panels with current and past apprentices, as well as employers and community college partners. The event will also include opening remarks from CCSNH Interim Chancellor Susan Huard, as well as information about exciting new initiatives underway to expand apprenticeship opportunities to New Hampshire high schools. “Since ApprenticeshipNH launched in 2016, the program has worked with 42 New Hampshire businesses across the state and enrolled over 230 individuals in apprenticeship programs,” said Emily Zeien, ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “Our National Apprenticeship Week events offer unique opportunities for employers, educators, community members, and workforce development professionals to hear about how the program is evolving and strengthening New Hampshire’s workforce.” Individuals interested in attending either event can register via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ccsnh-virtual-apprenticeship-week-celebration-tickets-124571740429.

(September 1, 2022) – With a growing need for healthcare workers across the state and in the Lakes Region, ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program of the Community College System of New Hampshire, partnered with Healthcare Career Advancement Program (HCAP) launched New Hampshire’s first Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Registered Apprenticeship program. In partnership with Golden View Health Care Center, an independent non-profit healthcare community in Meredith, and LNA Health Careers, a healthcare training program, the LPN program will use ApprenticeshipNH’s “earn while you learn” model to meet workforce demands in one of the state’s largest industries. “We are thrilled to offer the first Licensed Practical Nurse Registered Apprenticeship program in the state with Golden View to help fill the critical healthcare workforce need in the state,” said Tracey Jackson, CCSNH ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “What a great opportunity for apprentices to enter a healthcare pathway by training for an in-demand LPN position, earning an income while training, and attaining the classroom instruction aligned with their on-the-job experience.” The one-year LPN program combines over 2,000 hours of on-the-job training with 61-credits of coursework provided by LNA Health Careers. Apprentices will have the unique opportunity to work under a mentor and will be trained to carry out LPN duties in a nursing facility. The program is designed to be flexible and accessible for the apprentices as they work and complete their on-the-job training. As a competency-based program, apprentices will have the opportunity for progressive wage increases. LPNs are critical for patient care at long-term care facilities and assist with overall care and comfort. According to NH’s Economic Labor Market Information Bureau short-term projections for 2021 to 2023, nearly 600 open LPN positions exist throughout New Hampshire, signaling strong employment opportunities for apprentices. “Programs such as this are of the utmost importance in sustaining access to our healthcare services for the citizens of the Lakes Region and New Hampshire as a whole,” said Rosemary Simino, Golden View administrator. “The LPN Registered Apprenticeship Program helps our employees advance their careers and helps promote growth in our existing workforce. To be the first in the state to offer a program like this is such an honor.” ApprenticeshipNH has a history of assisting New Hampshire employers with Registered Apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships and programs with high school students as proven recruitment strategies. As a Registered Apprenticeship program with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Office of Apprenticeship, apprentices participate in an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential.

The funding is allocated using a formula based upon the number of apprentices served within the state. According to statistics gathered by the federal Office of Apprenticeship, which oversees the National Registered Apprenticeship System, there are 3,530 active apprentices in the Granite State in FY2025, a more than 85% increase in 10 years. The total funding of the ApprenticeshipNH initiative is $9.2 million, with 99% funded through the following U.S. Department of Labor-Employment and Training Administration Grants at the dollar amounts indicated: $3.4 million for the State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula (SAEF) Grants and $5.8 million for the Apprenticeship Building America Grant. #### CCSNH Receives Grants to Expand Apprenticeship The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) has received two new grants totaling over $1.7 million that will enable NH’s community colleges to continue upskilling employees through Registered Apprenticeships in key growth sectors through 2022. Funding of over $1.3 million from the U.S Department of Labor’s Apprenticeship State Expansion program and over $400,000 from the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor will enable the program to enroll an additional 450 apprentices and continue to build capacity for this pathway to job advancement. CCSNH was selected to participate in the AACC’s Expanding Community College Apprenticeship initiative after a competitive application and selection process and will join 100 other US colleges working to increase the number of apprenticeship programs nationally. Since CCSNH received initial funding from the Department of Labor to kick-start its ApprenticeshipNH program in late 2016, nearly 200 people have enrolled in the program and 31 new programs have been developed across three industries (healthcare, manufacturing, construction, and hospitality). Additional programs are being developed in the information technology sector, and with the receipt of AACC funding will broaden into high-demand industries such as automotive and biotechnology. Grants will enable ApprenticeshipNH to serve an additional 450 apprentices, up to 750 in total by 2022. “The goal of ApprenticeshipNH is to help address the workforce needs in New Hampshire by combining classroom instruction and on-the-job training in an earn-while-you-learn model,” said Beth Doiron, director of college access programs for the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). “We have learned a lot over the past two years and believe we have refined a model that works for New Hampshire. As a result, we are confident that we can build on our current efforts by creating and expanding apprenticeship programs to provide a career pathway for hundreds more Granite Staters.” With its original funding from the U.S. Department of Labor, ApprenticeshipNH is on target to serve more than 300 apprentices by the end of its initial performance period which was scheduled to end in October 2020. The additional funds from the Department of Labor and AACC will expand the number of Registered Apprenticeship programs in New Hampshire, with the combined potential to serve up to 750 apprentices in critical workforce sectors by 2022. ApprenticeshipNH is focused on providing career and education pathways. To do this, ApprenticeshipNH plans to develop pre-apprenticeship programs that provide foundational skills relevant to the industry and help connect job-seekers to apprenticeship opportunities. ApprenticeshipNH will also develop youth pathways that allow high school students to begin apprenticeship programs and will connect students to employment and continued community college education upon graduation from high school. “The additional funding will help offset tuition costs for apprentices,” said Doiron. “Most notably, this grant can also provide for supportive services to apprentices, such as childcare and transportation that could act as barriers to success.” To learn more about ApprenticeshipNH and the grant, contact Emily Zeien at 603-230-3526, ezeien@ccsnh.edu or visit apprenticeshipnh.org. #### CCSNH to Expand New Hampshire’s Registered Apprenticeship Programs and Support Apprentices Through New Federal Grant Concord, N.H. (July 25, 2024) – The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) has been awarded $474,623 from the U.S. Department of Labor through the State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula (SAEF) base formula funding grants to further enhance the reach of its Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAP). This is the second grant that CCSNH has received through the SAEF grants, which provides a series of grants over five years in formula funding awarded annually to increase their ability to serve, improve and expand these critical workforce programs in New Hampshire. RAPs combine on-the-job training and classroom education to increase an apprentice’s skills and meet employer needs. They have proven to be an effective way for businesses to attract and retain employees and provide an opportunity for job seekers to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages as they develop new skills in high-demand fields. ApprenticeshipNH, a highly successful workforce program of CCSNH created in 2016 to promote high-quality registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs throughout the Granite State, will use the base formula funding to increase financial support and coaching to apprentices who may have difficulty completing an apprenticeship otherwise. “Apprenticeships are a proven way to create pathways to new careers through high-quality skills training and education. We will be investing the latest round of SAEF funding to support apprentices facing challenges or barriers as they move along their pathway while ensuring the programs being developed are equitable and accessible to everyone,” said Anne Banks, Apprenticeship Programs Manager at CCSNH. The size of the SAEF base formula funding grants is determined by the number of apprentices served within the state. According to statistics gathered by the Federal Office of Apprenticeship, which oversees the National Registered Apprenticeship System, New Hampshire currently has 3,096 active apprentices in RAPs, a 100% increase in 10 years. The U.S. Department of Labor created SAEF grants to support states as they engage industry partners, create career pathways, and develop the talent pipeline needed to meet the skill needs of their local labor markets. In New Hampshire, the skill needs vary significantly by region. ApprenticeshipNH has established four regional hubs to tailor programs to meet the community and industry needs in each area. These hubs are located near the state’s community colleges and operate as collaborative efforts across industry, community organizations, education and state agencies. Each hub is staffed with experts who provide technical support for program development and assist employers in connecting with potential job seekers. In cooperation with the Office of Apprenticeship, ApprenticeshipNH supports employers building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeship and high school programs in high-demand sectors including advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, transportation and logistics, information technology, biomedical technology, business and finance, construction and infrastructure, education and childcare, healthcare, and hospitality. ApprenticeshipNH assists companies with recruiting, screening and hiring potential apprentices, as well as accessing resources in the state that help to fund apprentice training and education. The total funding of the ApprenticeshipNH initiative is $9.57 million with 99% funded through the following US Department of Labor-Employment and Training Administration Grants at the dollar amounts indicated: State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula (SAEF) Grants-$3.77 million and Apprenticeship Building America Grant (ABA) – $5.8 million.

(July 25, 2023) – As the demand for skilled and trained carpenters grows, ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program of the Community College System of New Hampshire, and Associated Builders and Contractors of New Hampshire and Vermont (ABC NH/VT) are celebrating a milestone within the Carpentry Registered Apprenticeship program. With the “earn while you learn” model, apprentices spend time between classroom learning and on-the-job training. The first cohort of apprentice carpenters has completed the classroom instruction at Manchester Community College and now will focus on the remaining hands-on training toward becoming a carpenter. “This is a significant investment made by the Associated Builders and Contractors of New Hampshire and Vermont in partnership with Manchester Community College and ApprenticeshipNH,” said Governor Chris Sununu in a congratulatory letter. “This program exemplifies the profound dedication of employers to sponsor the education and professional development of their employees. These employers are making a significant contribution to the growth and development of our skilled workforce. This partnership reflects the important relationship between industry and higher education to solve workforce issues.” Apprentices are balancing their time working full shifts to gain practical on-the-job-training with spending two evenings per week at MCC to complete 455 hours of classroom instruction, all while earning pay and being mentored by key personnel at North Branch Construction and LaMontagne Builders. During the program, apprentices spend time learning truss work, framing and mill work. “This is an important milestone because these are the first open shop carpenters that are going to be journey workers in New Hampshire,” said Anne Banks, CCSNH Apprenticeship Program Manager. “They have reached the halfway mark of their program and are close to becoming skilled carpenters in the field and providing high-demand services in their communities. We are so proud to have partnered with ABC NH/VT to build a first of its kind of apprenticeship program where multiple general contractors have come together to participate in this model.” The three-year Carpenter Registered Apprenticeship program includes 6,400-hours of practical on-the-job training and 455-hours of classroom learning. Both adults and high school students are participating in launching a career in carpentry while North Branch Construction and LaMontagne Builders are developing a pipeline of qualified carpenters. “The construction industry is unique and, in a crisis, because we do not have enough workers,” said Joshua Reap, president and CEO of ABC NH/VT. “A lot of the craft workers in their 50’s are retiring at record rates, which leaves the industry with huge workforce gaps. Contractors here in New Hampshire are solutions-based companies and decided to fix the problem by training their own people using an apprenticeship program. We have a great partnership with ApprenticeshipNH and Manchester Community College who are helping solve the problem.” According to the state’s Economic Labor Market Information Bureau (ELMI), New Hampshire construction companies will be looking to fill more than 3,323 carpenters over the next eight years signaling opportunity for job seekers. Carpenters work with various materials to construct, repair, and install building frameworks and structures. The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Office of Apprenticeship and ApprenticeshipNH collaborate with community partners to create industry-driven, high-quality career pathways where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential. The program is supported by WorkNowNH and Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA).

Working with Great Bay Community College (GBCC), ApprenticeshipNH is working alongside Lonza and the Office of Apprenticeship to create a one-year Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) that combines paid, on-the-job training at Lonza with eight weeks of related instruction at GBCC’s Portsmouth campus. As of February 2025, GBCC now offers a customized biomanufacturing education program for Lonza apprentices. “Lonza was familiar with our outstanding Biotechnology certificate and associate degree programs – and knew that we were right around the corner from its Portsmouth site. Combining resources for a biomanufacturing technician apprenticeship program offered a powerful means of training Lonza’s future workforce while preparing students for careers in a fast-growing field,” said Dr. Cheryl Lesser, GBCC president. Lonza’s site in Portsmouth is building strong capabilities in the rapidly growing field of cell and gene therapies. Manufacturing such therapies requires a unique skillset and training. In 2024, the company began working with ApprenticeshipNH to develop a program to support the development of its future workforce in these areas. “This new apprenticeship program aims to equip the next generation of graduates and professionals in New Hampshire with the critical skills needed to excel in biomanufacturing, driving innovation and supporting the delivery of life-changing therapies,” said Christophe Royer, Site Head at the Lonza site in Portsmouth. GBCC and Lonza anticipate training four cohorts totaling approximately 50 apprentices in 2025. Ongoing competency tests ensure that apprentices who complete the program have the skills necessary to become valued members of Lonza’s workforce. Deb Audino, professor of biotechnology at GBCC, explained that “GBCC’s biotechnology program has a long-standing commitment to prepare students for a career at Lonza. This apprenticeship program is an additional, faster track option for those who want to start their career to help improve and even save people’s lives.” Lonza encourages individuals over the age of 18 with a passion to help people, curiosity to learn, and the ability to follow detailed procedures to apply to the apprenticeship program. A scientific background is not required. People who have worked in the food and electronic industries, for example, often make excellent candidates due to their experience in working within structured guidelines and maintaining good attention to detail. “It doesn’t get more rewarding than making therapies that could save people’s lives. If you want to help people and get a start in the growing health sciences field, the Lonza apprenticeship is an incredible opportunity,” said Delilah Smith, the ApprenticeshipNH program developer for Lonza’s RAP.   Left-to-right: Alex Hackathorn, Lonza Senior Aseptic Training Specialist in Cell & Gene Therapy Manufacturing, Delilah Smith, Apprenticeship USA-NH Hub Developer, Community College System of New Hampshire, Alexa Siome and Kaitlyn Santana, GBCC students in the GBCC biotech lab.

The Regional Hub model supports a coordinated, national investment strategy that aims to strengthen and modernize the USDOL’s Registered Apprenticeship system and promotes RAPs as a workforce solution. ApprenticeshipNH will serve as an intermediary within each Hub to provide technical assistance and financial support for the development of apprenticeship programs across a spectrum of sectors and occupations. This includes New Hampshire’s in-demand industries of construction, education/childcare, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, technology and transportation/logistics. A minimum of two employer incentive funding awards are available in each of the seven sectors listed above. The criteria for incentive funding eligibility is as follows: $4,000 incentive when standards are signed for a new RAP within three months of submitting the application form. $500 incentive per apprentice (up to a maximum of eight apprentices) retained for six months from the start date of their RAP. ApprenticeshipNH awards funding on a rolling basis until all funds are expended. For more information please email: Charlotte Williams, cpwilliams@ccsnh.edu. ApprenticeshipNH was established in 2017 and is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor to assist employers building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprentice and high school programs in high-demand sectors including healthcare, technology, manufacturing, construction, hospitality, transportation/logistics, and education/ childcare. ApprenticeshipNH has a history of assisting New Hampshire employers with Registered Apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships and programs with high school students as proven recruitment strategies. Participating employers have experienced increased productivity, boosted employee retention, improved company culture and an ensured knowledge transfer when filling retiring positions with qualified, skilled workers. To date, 700 individuals and 63 companies have benefitted from the program. Visit ApprenticeshipNH.com for more information.

This funding will be used to increase the ability of ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program of CCSNH, to serve, improve and strategically expand their Registered Apprenticeship programs (RAP) and pre-apprenticeship programs. Of the total grant, $2.9 million was additional competitive funding awarded to increase sustainability, and to expand and diversify apprenticeship programs in targeted industries including advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, infrastructure and clean energy, education and healthcare. CCSNH is the only recipient in New Hampshire to receive funding and one of seven states across the country to be granted the additional competitive funding. The US DOL State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula grants help states embed job quality, sustainability, diversity, and equity while creating opportunities for innovation, engagement and accessibility in RAP programs. “Being one of only seven states to receive this additional funding from the U.S. Department of Labor is a testament to the success that we have had throughout the state in creating and expanding Registered Apprenticeship programs,” said Mark Rubinstein, CCSNH chancellor. “Our apprenticeship programs are proven to be very successful for recruitment and retention and have helped Granite State employers in a variety of industries fill hundreds of critical positions all while creating a pipeline for advancement through skills enhancement.” Through the ApprenticeshipNH program, employers within key sectors of the state’s economy can implement workforce development programs to create a pipeline of skilled workers using the “Earn While You Learn” model that combines on-the-job training and classroom education to increase an apprentice’s skills. RAPs are a proven solution for businesses looking to hire and retain workers and serve as an opportunity for jobseekers to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages as they develop new skills in high-demand fields. “Being awarded the State Apprenticeship Expansion Formula grants will help CCSNH further build sustainable partnerships with our industry partners across the state while also providing new opportunities for innovation, engagement, and ease of access for apprentices,” said Beth Doiron, CCSNH Director of College Access and NHED Programs and Initiatives. “These grants will focus on embedding diversity and equity into the development of career pathways for individuals seeking career growth opportunities, and it recognizes the importance of building New Hampshire’s labor force across every sector of our state’s population.” ApprenticeshipNH has a history of assisting New Hampshire employers with RAPs, pre-apprenticeships and programs with high school students as proven recruitment and retention strategies. Over the past six years that CCSNH has helped employers build apprenticeships, participating businesses have experienced increased productivity, boosted employee retention, improved company culture and an ensured knowledge transfer when filling retiring positions with qualified, skilled workers. “Through our collaborative effort with ApprenticeshipNH and CCSNH, we have been successfully able to fill vital healthcare roles throughout our organization,” said Becky Marden, director of workforce development & experience at The Elliot. “Building quality pathways to healthcare careers where individuals can gain skills and qualifications for employment while still earning a wage has been an integral component of the program. Our Registered Apprenticeship programs do not just get people in-the-doors, but through the hands-on learning approach and wrap around support from across our partnerships, we are seeing high retention rates in our cohorts. This partnership has allowed us to create flexible and industry-driven training solutions that assist us in caring for the health and wellbeing of those in our community.” Through the support of other US DOL grants and the Office of Apprenticeship, ApprenticeshipNH is enhancing statewide apprenticeship resources and networks by establishing four Regional Apprenticeship Hubs that align with the geographic locations of New Hampshire’s community colleges. The Regional Hub model supports a coordinated, national investment strategy that aims to strengthen and modernize the US DOL’s Registered Apprenticeship system and promotes RAPs as a workforce solution. As an intermediary, ApprenticeshipNH will support each hub to provide technical assistance and financial support for the development of apprenticeship programs across a spectrum of sectors and occupations. This includes New Hampshire’s in-demand industries of construction, education/childcare, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, technology and transportation/logistics. ApprenticeshipNH was established in 2017 and is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor. In cooperation with the Office of Apprentice, ApprenticeshipNH assists employers building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprentice and high school programs in high-demand sectors including advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, business and finance, construction and infrastructure, education and childcare, healthcare, hospitality, information technology and transportation and logistics.

(Photo courtesy of The Elliot) #### Community College System of NH receives $3.45m to expand apprenticeship programs to high school students The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) will be able to expand its successful ApprenticeshipNH program to high school students thanks to new grant funding from the U.S. Department of Labor. The $3.45m in grant funding will help hundreds of New Hampshire high school students gain access to Registered Apprenticeship programs in the automotive, advanced manufacturing, business and finance, construction, healthcare and hospitality sectors. Created in 2017, the ApprenticeshipNH program seeks to address workforce needs in high-demand sectors throughout the state, including advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, construction & infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology. To date, hundreds of New Hampshire residents have participated in the program and those who have completed apprenticeships have expanded their skills and knowledge and seen increased wages. The grant-funded program is run by CCSNH. “The earn while you learn model that ApprenticeshipNH employs to help people advance in their field of interest has been very successful in the Granite State. We’re really excited to build off this model and open new doors to high school students who want to gain real world professional experience while in school, so they are ready to fill vital entry level positions across the state,” said Susan Huard, interim chancellor of CCSNH. The “Building State Capacity to Expand Apprenticeship through Innovation” grants support a statewide Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) expansion through a two-tiered funding system that provides states with maximum flexibility to address local apprenticeship needs while enhancing the focus on employer engagement, performance and positive outcomes for apprentices. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA). “Registered Apprenticeship Programs provide workers with the right skills needed in today’s labor market and can have a positive impact in fixing the skills gap that employers face,” said U.S. Department of Labor’s assistant secretary for employment and training John Pallasch. “This will be a great opportunity for young people who want to combine on-the-job training with relevant classroom education, while getting paid at the same time.” The Department awarded funds to states and U.S. territories that applied for Tier I funding to help support the programs’ goals. New Hampshire received $450,000 in Tier I funding. Additionally, New Hampshire was one of 12 states that received funds under Tier II. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the $3m Tier II grant was awarded based on strong evidence of past performance in expanding RAPs. With these additional funds, the selected states will go above-and-beyond supporting the state’s basic Registered Apprenticeship structures. These activities include the following: Expanding registered apprenticeships in healthcare, mental health care, addiction treatment, or alternative pain management occupations providing support to individuals living in rural areas; Supporting engagement with small businesses in nontraditional industries in registered apprenticeships; Expanding apprenticeship opportunities among all workers, including women, minorities, veterans, individuals with disabilities and individuals with a criminal record; Developing innovative technical assistance strategies for Registered Apprenticeship sponsors; Establishing an employer incentive plan to expand or scale apprenticeships; and Launching or expanding sector strategies to expand to new industries and/or new or non-traditional occupations.   The Tier I funds will help the ApprenticeshipNH program build the infrastructure from high school to adult apprenticeships through partnerships with secondary education – including NH CTE Centers – and CCSNH colleges and improve data sharing to measure program impact. Tier II funds will support a statewide marketing effort, and support and expand youth RAP development. The goal of this new effort is to develop high school registered apprenticeships for up to 315 high school youth and underrepresented populations.

The program willprepare students for entry into the medical assistant, pharmacy technician and surgical technologist registered apprenticeship programs of Dartmouth Health’s Dartmouth Hitchcock Workforce Readiness Institute (DHWRI). The 14-week program is open to high school seniors age 17 and older, who will participate in classroom instruction at RVCC and paid on-the-job learning as healthcare operations support assistants at DHMC in Lebanon. The program’s pilot cohort of five students from high schools in New Hampshire and Vermont began Wednesday, March 23, 2022, with introductory classroom instruction at RVCC. The program will culminate on Friday, June 24, with a ceremony that includes an interview opportunity with the DHWRI apprenticeship programs and where they will be recognized with a Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate of Completion. “We are thrilled to be part of this exciting new pre-apprenticeship program for high school students who are exploring careers in healthcare,” said Jenny Macaulay, manager of Workforce Strategy for Dartmouth Health. “The goal of this program is to help students make informed choices about their plans after graduation. Creating opportunities for our regional youth to enter the workforce with the skills, knowledge and readiness to succeed is at the heart of this program’s design, and supports the DHWRI’s goal of building a sustainable workforce pipeline that supports the work and mission of Dartmouth Health. This new program offers young people the opportunity to explore healthcare careers while they learn and earn, prepares them to continue employment within Dartmouth Health and to pursue advanced training and education.” Pre-apprenticeship programs pave the way for participants to enroll in Registered Apprenticeship programs, where they can continue to learn and develop job skills through on-the-job training under the guidance of mentors. As employees from day one using the “earn while you learn” model, apprentices become part of an employer’s culture and are therefore more likely to stay with the employer for a period of time, which benefits both employee and employer. Students participating in the health care pre-apprenticeship program will gain hands-on experience by working alongside teams that bring them into the inpatient, ambulatory, perioperative and pharmaceutical environments into which the DHWRI’s registered apprenticeship and training programs lead. While working, pre-apprentices will be able to see firsthand how the many roles in healthcare – clinical, supply, infection prevention, nutrition, diagnostic, surgical and administration – work together for patient care, thereby helping to discover their personal interests and career paths. “This new pre-apprenticeship program provides an excellent opportunity for high school students to jump-start their careers in healthcare,” said Mary Ann Gaschnig, CCSNH’s high school apprentice and business outreach specialist. “The program provides a unique opportunity for pre-apprentices to play a vital role in supporting the clinical and operational functions at DHMC, while learning as they go. Now more than ever, we need a talented pool of healthcare professionals to meet the critical workforce needs in New Hampshire.” The ApprenticeshipNH program was established in 2016 through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. To date, 371 individuals and 61 New Hampshire companies have benefitted from CCSNH’s ApprenticeshipNH programs. DHWRI is a registered career school with the New Hampshire Department of Education. DHWRI offers training and career advancement opportunities through comprehensive training programs that offer full-time employment with benefits; access to the state’s largest private employer, a nationally recognized teaching hospital and health system; the ability to earn college credits, state/national licenses, and certifications while being paid to learn; and experiential learning opportunities for high school and post-secondary students.

An initial cohort of eight apprentices will begin the program in March, training to become fully qualified nursing assistants at the facility. “Our staff are at the core of the resident-driven services that we provide, and it is important for us to provide opportunities like this registered apprenticeship to members of our community,” said Patricia Cummings, administrator for The Edgewood Centre. “The apprenticeship training will allow us to help address the significant shortage of nursing assistants in the state, while also providing an opportunity for apprentices to earn and learn in this fast-growing field.” About the Program The program is the first and only in the state of NH using a hybrid learning model that leverages both online learning with in-person classroom and clinical instruction, and apprentices will complete a total of 144 hours of paid classroom instruction time in five weeks. The instruction is offered by Manchester Community College (MCC), with Great Bay Community College in Portsmouth serving as a local training site for MCC’s program. The training will prepare apprentices to sit for the nursing assistant licensure with the state of New Hampshire’s nursing board.  The registered apprenticeship program at Edgewood also requires one year/2,000 hours of on-the-job training. On-the-job training enables apprentices to master the skills learned during instruction, with the support of a one-to-one mentor. “This apprenticeship program enables participants to not only begin an exciting new career path in the industry, but also the opportunity to learn and develop new skills while receiving a paycheck,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. Opportunity for Growth Participants will earn wages with incremental raises as they progress.  In addition to being licensed with the state board of nursing, apprentices will receive a national occupational credential from the US Department of Labor, verifying that they are fully qualified as nursing assistants. “The Edgewood Centre is demonstrating their commitment to growing and retaining their talent by developing this apprenticeship opportunity that allows employees to advance.  Apprentices will have access to exceptional training and education resources that will prepare them to be successful in a new, high-demand career,” Zeien said. “We applaud them for making such a significant investment in their workforce.” The Edgewood Centre is now accepting applications for a start date in early March.

The organizations, along with Manchester Community College and Network4Health, are launching a broad registered apprenticeship program to cultivate talent in nursing, tech, and support roles at The Elliot and CMC.  This “earn while you learn” approach allows individuals to hold a paid position while engaging in classroom learning and on-the-job training. “I can’t recall a point in my career when it has been this challenging to fill these positions,” says Karen Schoch, Director of Organizational Development at Catholic Medical Center.  “A program like this not only helps us place people in critically important positions, it also removes barriers for people who want to pursue a healthcare career. We look forward to growing this program with other healthcare partners to serve needs across the state.” “We are pleased to help future and current employees support themselves and their families while they transition into new healthcare roles,” says Becky Marden, Director of Workforce Development and Experience at Elliot Health System. “This collaboration will open up new pathways to start a healthcare career, and also opportunities for advancement and growth.” To kick off this partnership, the organizations will hold a Healthcare Career Fair on the campus of Manchester Community College on Thursday May 19, from 1 – 6PM.  Anyone interested in entering the healthcare workforce through a paid registered apprenticeship program is encouraged to attend.  Employment applications and screening interviews will be conducted on-site; interested individuals should come prepared for a job interview.  The event will focus on three roles—medical assistant, patient service representative and licensed nursing assistant.  Other roles may also be available for application.  Current healthcare employees looking to train in a new role are also welcome.  Resources will be available to support first time students or those re-entering the classroom. “This new apprenticeship program builds on the workforce connections that MCC has established with these key healthcare organizations in our community,” says Brian Bicknell, President of Manchester Community College. “We look forward to hosting the May 19th Healthcare Career Fair and welcoming applicants and new students to campus.” #### Emily Zeien talks about National Apprenticeship Week National Apprenticeship Week Celebrates Investing in New Hampshire’s Talent Across the country businesses, education providers, and community organizations are gearing up to celebrate this year’s National Apprenticeship Week, November 12-18, 2018. Organized annually by the US Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship, this week-long initiative focuses on showcasing Registered Apprenticeship programs across the country that aim to ensure our nation’s industries have the skilled workforce they need to continue to grow our economy. With a low unemployment rate and significant demand for skilled workers, New Hampshire is engaging in national initiatives like this as a way to demonstrate how training programs like apprenticeship are a model for success. Planned events in New Hampshire will be robust, thanks in part to efforts at the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). Over the past two years, the Community College System’s ApprenticeshipNH program has used federal funding to help New Hampshire businesses to develop apprenticeship programs. These apprenticeships have been designed to meet the needs of the businesses and serve as a proven solution to challenges they have faced in hiring and retaining skilled employees. Overall, ApprenticeshipNH focuses on serving companies in healthcare, manufacturing, IT, construction and infrastructure, and hospitality, with most of the early apprenticeship creation primarily in healthcare and manufacturing. Employers like Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, Safran Aerospace in Rochester, and Freudenberg-Nok in Bristol have leveraged ApprenticeshipNH’s expertise in developing apprenticeships. The NH residents engaged in apprenticeship programs receive paid, hands-on experience and on the job training, plus classroom instruction through their local community colleges. Some participants were previously unemployed or underemployed and lacked the financial resources to go back to school and seek education in order to start a new career. Others are incumbent employees who are provided upward mobility within the company, thereby increasing employee retention. Based on our initial success, we know that apprenticeship has the potential to be a viable solution for responding to New Hampshire’s workforce challenges. We hope that you will consider joining us during National Apprenticeship Week this year as we use the initiative to champion apprenticeship and to thank our partners for the work that they do to invest in our people. On Wednesday, November 14 from 9:30 am to 11:30 am, EFI Inkjet in Londonderry will host ApprenticeshipNH and the Community College System for a Partner Appreciation Event. In addition to recognizing our partners, we will share updates on our successes thus far. EFI will share information about their exciting new apprenticeship program, and will also offer tours of their impressive new manufacturing facility. To learn more about this event and to RSVP, please visit https://ccsnh_partnerevent.eventbrite.com or call 603-230-3526.

Funding will be awarded through a request for proposal (RFP) process and aimed at improving statewide apprenticeship resources and networks through a new regional hub model that aligns with the geographic locations of community colleges. The RFP has been posted to the CCSNH website. The Regional Hub model supports a coordinated, national investment strategy that aims to strengthen and modernize the U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship system and promotes Registered Apprenticeship as a workforce solution. Regional hubs are a partnership between industry, community organizations, education, and state agencies. ApprenticeshipNH will serve as an intermediary within each hub to provide technical assistance and financial support for the development of apprenticeship programs across a spectrum of sectors and occupations. This includes NH’s in-demand industries of construction, education/childcare, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, technology and transportation/logistics. Through this four-year effort, CCSNH seeks to engage at least 50 to 100 employers and enroll 500 to 700 participants in Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs), as well as develop 32 new Pre-Apprenticeship programs while expanding 60 existing Pre-Apprenticeships. Underscoring this work is the promotion of greater inclusion, equity, diversity and access to these workforce solutions with a commitment to increased cultural awareness from employers and greater inclusion of underserved populations. “We are seeking proposals that will expand the infrastructure of Registered Apprenticeship pathways to fill critical workforce demands and provide opportunities for all residents of New Hampshire,” said Anne Banks, CCSNH Apprenticeship Programs Manager. “This funding opportunity will allow industry leaders and community organizations to explore and implement strategies that best address the needs in their region.” The RFP process is open through March 10, 2023 (EXTENDED TO JUNE 30) and will be awarded in three tiers based on the number of apprentices served on an annual basis from the Apprentice Building America (ABA) grant awarded to CCSNH from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Concord, NH (April 3, 2023) – Banks play a vital role in helping economies and communities thrive but to do so, they need skilled staff to help them operate successfully. ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program of the Community College System of New Hampshire, and NH Mutual Bancorp are launching New Hampshire’s first Bank Teller Registered Apprenticeship program. This program will provide apprentices aged 16 years and older with a practical pathway to a career in banking. Using ApprenticeshipNH’s ‘earn while you learn’ model, apprentices will earn pay and be mentored and trained onsite to become the next generation of banking professionals at northern New England’s first shared community banking services organization. “We are excited to partner with NH Mutual Bancorp to offer a new opportunity and New Hampshire’s first Bank Teller Registered Apprenticeship program,” said Anne Banks, CCSNH’s Apprenticeship programs manager. “Banking is very well suited for the apprenticeship model and offers excellent career pathways for individuals of all ages, including high school students and adults, to seamlessly enter the financial services industry and earn while they learn. NH Mutual Bancorp has developed an excellent opportunity to prepare apprentices to become bank tellers in the Capital, Lakes, and Monadnock regions of the state through programs with partner banking institutions.” The one-year Bank Teller Registered Apprenticeship program combines 2,000 hours of practical on-the-job training with 148 hours of classroom learning provided by the American Banking Association, NH Mutual Bancorp and the Community College System’s WorkReadyNH program. Apprentices will have the opportunity to train at Merrimack County Savings Bank in Concord, Meredith Village Savings Bank in Meredith and Savings Bank of Walpole in Keene. “We are thrilled to partner with ApprenticeshipNH to offer the state’s first Bank Teller program,” said David Cronin, EVP Chief Human Resources Officer for NH Mutual Bancorp. “As with many industries, we too need skilled workers now and into the future, and this program creates a wonderful pipeline for new talent in an industry with significant growth opportunities. This apprenticeship program will help us build a new entry point to a banking career and address the need for developing new bank tellers in multiple locations across the state.” A bank teller is responsible for providing banking services to customers including financial transactions, maintaining accounts, providing customer service and promoting bank products. Bank tellers are integral to the banking industry working directly with customers and helping build essential communications skills, banking industry knowledge and relationships. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 35,000 openings for tellers are projected each year, on average, through 2031. The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Office of Apprenticeship and ApprenticeshipNH work together with community partners to create industry-driven, high-quality career pathways where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential. The program is supported by WorkNowNH and Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA). ApprenticeshipNH was established in 2017 and is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor to assist employers building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprentice and high school programs in high-demand sectors including healthcare, technology, manufacturing, construction, hospitality, transportation/logistics, and education/childcare.

Concord, NH – Gellfam Management Corp., the management company behind the Five Guys franchise locations in New Hampshire, has developed a restaurant management registered apprenticeship program in partnership with the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) and the ApprenticeshipNH program.  ApprenticeshipNH is a grant-funded program that seeks to address workforce needs in high-demand sectors throughout the state by helping employers develop apprenticeship programs that meet federal standards. In launching this program, Gellfam will become the first New Hampshire employer to offer a restaurant management Registered Apprenticeship. “We want everyone to know that Five Guys offers great career and training opportunities for everyone,” said Katrina Lacerte, operations project manager for Gellfam Management Corp., “this apprenticeship is a great way for someone to get their foot in the door and work towards a rewarding career.” The program will consist of 441 hours of classroom instruction completed over the course of three years at an NH community college.  All college credits earned by the apprentices can be applied towards a certificate or associate degree offered by the participating colleges. The Registered Apprenticeship program at Five Guys also requires three years/6,000 hours of on-the-job training at a restaurant. As a restaurant manager apprentice, participants will learn how to oversee and manage operations at a Five Guys location, including employee supervision, purchasing and budgeting, and customer relations. “This apprenticeship program gives participants the opportunity to work towards a college degree,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. “Because of the earn-and-learn model of apprenticeship, participants will learn and develop new skills while still receiving a paycheck. Apprentices will have access to exceptional training and education resources that will prepare them to be successful in a new career,” Zeien said. “We are thrilled to partner with Gellfam as they implement this new training program.” Gellfam is currently seeking applicants for the program, with opportunities available at several locations in southern New Hampshire.

(August 21, 2024) – Recently more than 30 representatives from seacoast area manufacturers, business organizations and educators convened at Great Bay Community College (GBCC) to discuss how to meet the automated manufacturing workforce needs in the region. The discussion was the second in a series of automated manufacturing business roundtables that are being held around the state by the NH Center for Automated Manufacturing and ApprenticeshipNH, partnering Community College System of NH (CCSNH) programs. The partnership is a collaboration between all seven of New Hampshire’s community colleges and ApprenticeshipNH to tailor automated manufacturing curriculum to meet evolving employer needs and develop shared programming and outreach efforts across the community college system. Funded by a workforce grant from the State of New Hampshire to CCSNH and apprenticeship expansion grants through the U.S. Department of Labor, the roundtable series launched in Keene in April 2024. “Cheshire and Sullivan counties have the highest percentage of workers employed in manufacturing, followed by the counties in the Seacoast area. It made sense to begin our outreach efforts in these areas,” said Phil Przybyszewki, partner development and outreach specialist for the NH Center for Automated Manufacturing. Dr. Cheryl Lesser, president of Great Bay Community College, was impressed by the enthusiasm and ideas shared by the local business community at the Seacoast roundtable, saying that “the connection between what employers need in the workforce and how CCSNH meets that need is critical.” Participants at the roundtable shared their concerns about reskilling or upskilling current employees to keep pace with rapid technological changes such as robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, nanotech, biotechnology and more. Area employers also discussed challenges posed by the aging manufacturing workforce, declines in younger workers entering the field, and the need for professional development training so younger workers collaborate effectively with other employees. “As a representative of one of New Hampshire’s many small to mid-size manufacturers struggling to meet our workforce development needs, this event reaffirmed that we are not alone, but that we have a plethora of untapped resources to help,” commented Kim Nicols, coordinator of employee growth and development at TURBOCAM International. Insights provided at this and other roundtables will be used to create an aligned automated manufacturing curriculum across all of New Hampshire’s community colleges. The aligned curriculum will support a skilled statewide workforce and lay the foundation for more registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs within the manufacturing industry. ApprenticeshipNH supports employers developing Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) that combine on-the-job learning with technical training through the community college system. Tracey Jackson, hub coordinator for ApprenticeshipNH, says that the insights from the roundtable will guide efforts to attract more apprentices to manufacturing programs. “We heard nearly every roundtable attendee say they needed employees with soft skills. That tells us that professional skills, as well as technical skills, is an important part of the manufacturing curriculum,” she said. The advanced manufacturing roundtable in Seacoast was created through the joint efforts of CCSNH’s NH Center for Automated Manufacturing, Great Bay Community College, and ApprenticeshipNH. # # # About Great Bay Community College Great Bay Community College is a comprehensive postsecondary institution offering quality academic, professional, and technical education in support of workforce development and lifelong learning.

(August 28, 2024) – Great Bay Community College (GBCC) is making it easier for employers to train or upskill individuals interested in becoming medical assistants by sponsoring a new U.S. Department of Labor, Medical Assistant Registered Apprenticeship Program supported by ApprenticeshipNH. This collaboration between GBCC, ApprenticeshipNH, and the NH Office of Apprenticeship provides support for employers to fill the workforce shortage of medical assistants in the Seacoast area. Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) combine formalized, paid, on-the-job learning with technical education. They are a proven way for employers to hire and retain workers in tight labor markets and for apprentices to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages. GBCC worked with ApprenticeshipNH and NH Office of Apprenticeship to develop the training schedule and standards. Through the partnership with GBCC, employers agree to hire apprentices, provide on-the-job training, and assign a mentor to support the apprentices as they progress through the educational elements of the program. “Employers were telling us that they would like to use apprenticeship to hire more medical assistants, but smaller medical practices and employers expressed concerns about their capacity to build and manage their own programs. GBCC’s sponsorship was developed to address those concerns by taking the administrative burden of developing an apprenticeship off employers,” explained Liz Arcieri, Apprentice and Business Outreach Specialist with ApprenticeshipNH. “Our hope is that employers that don’t have the personnel to manage the program and reporting responsibilities will now be able to participate to fill the desperately needed medical assistant positions.” GBCC’s program includes eight weeks of classroom instruction and clinical training and a four-week externship. Apprentices also receive one and a half to two years of paid on-the-job training with the participating employer. “Great Bay Community College has a long-established, robust medical assistant program that has served as the model for other colleges. Apprentices have frequently been enrolled in the program, but our sponsorship means that we now handle many of the administrative and reporting responsibilities on behalf of employers,” said Lynn Szymanski, Director of Workforce Development at GBCC. Federal funding through the US Department of Labor is available through ApprenticeshipNH for both employers and apprentices. Employers are eligible to receive $2,000 when signing on under the GBCC sponsorship and $500 per apprentice (up to a maximum of eight apprentices) hired within six months of the start of the apprentice program and retained for six months. Apprentices receive up to $2,000 in scholarship funds and up to $1,500 for support services based on their financial needs. Szymanski explained that federal funding, employer support and other grants typically offset many of the education costs for apprentices participating in a registered program. “Apprenticeships, such as the one we are sponsoring for medical assistants, are a great way for individuals to launch or change a career at minimal cost and for employers to build their own workforce,” she said. The New Hampshire Department of Employment Security projects continued high demand for medical assistants across the state, with 21.5% job growth in Rockingham County between 2020 and 2030. ApprenticeshipNH was established in 2017 and is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor to assist employers building registered apprenticeships, pre-apprentice and high school programs in high-demand sectors including advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, business and finance construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology. ApprenticeshipNH assists companies with recruiting, screening and hiring potential apprentices, as well as accessing resources in the state that help to fund apprentice training and education.

Great NH Restaurants, the management company behind the restaurants Copper Door, T-BONES, CJ’s, and Cactus Jack’s, has developed a new culinary registered apprenticeship program in partnership with the ApprenticeshipNH program.  ApprenticeshipNH is a grant-funded program housed at the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) which seeks to address workforce needs in industry sectors throughout the state by helping employers develop apprenticeship programs that meet federal standards. In launching this program, Great NH Restaurants will join a minority of New Hampshire restaurants offering an opportunity for career seekers to earn and learn in a registered apprenticeship. “We chose to develop this program as an important way for us not only to invest in our community and give career-seekers an opportunity to advance in the hospitality industry,” said Dan Fraser, owner and chief operating officer for Great NH Restaurants, “but also because we saw it as an innovative way for us to respond to our hiring gaps. It’s more important than ever for us to be creative about how we hire and retain employees.” Paid, hands-on learning combined with classroom education prepares workers for a new career The program will consist of 574 hours of classroom instruction completed over the course of three years at CCSNH member college.  All required coursework is credit-bearing, and college credits earned by the apprentices are applied towards a certificate or associate degree offered by the participating colleges. The Registered Apprenticeship program at Great NH Restaurants also requires just over three years of on-the-job training at a restaurant, which equates to 6,000 hours. As cook apprentices, apprentices will learn with the support of a mentor how to prepare, serve, and plan a variety of menu items offered. “This apprenticeship program enables participants to not only begin an exciting new career path in the industry, but also the opportunity to work towards a degree that allows the apprentices to learn and develop new skills while still receiving a paycheck,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. “Great NH Restaurants is demonstrating their commitment by developing this apprenticeship opportunity that allows employees to better themselves. Apprentices will have access to exceptional training and education resources that will prepare them to be successful in a new career,” Zeien said. “We applaud them for making such a significant investment in their workforce.” Great NH Restaurants is now accepting applications for restaurant locations throughout the state. #### Hollie MacLean Goes From Receptionist to Apprentice at Coos County Family Health Services Apprentice Name: Hollie MacLean Industry: Healthcare Town: Berlin, NH Place of Employment: Coos County Family Health Services (CCFHS) Community College Name: White Mountains Community College What were you doing before you became an apprentice? I worked as a receptionist at Coos County Family Health Services (CCFHS) and handled the administrative side of the organization. And now it’s like being in Oz and seeing behind the curtain how things are actually working from the medical standpoint. How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? Initially, I wanted to apply to be part of the nursing program at White Mountains Community College (WMCC). When the pandemic hit, things got a little wonky on those grounds and the apprenticeship popped up through work. Because of this, I knew two years were going to pass by and I wanted to do more with my life. Moving forward and upward is what I really anticipate doing from here on out and this apprenticeship is helping me get there. How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? I’m at the very beginning and I have to complete 3,200 hours of on-the-job training in addition to the medical assisting training I completed at WMCC. I am about 500 hours into it with much more to go but it’s going really well. What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? I think getting to know everybody. I knew what they did from my previous role at the company, but getting to know those involved more on a personal and professional level is something I enjoy immensely. During the pandemic, I’ve learned a lot about people’s personalities and they have a great sense of humor. Were there mentorship opportunities during the apprenticeship? We are working with everybody and I find that to be beneficial because you could float to each office. I get to work with seasoned nurses who have been on the job for 30 plus years who know a lot and are amazing. There are also brand-new nurses who are right out of the training program and they are also amazing and go to the seasoned nurses for help. We all work together and it is a great learning experience. What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? I’m a bit of a reserved person and I like my routine. I told myself to do this – just say yes and try it and figure out if you enjoy it.  So far, everything that I have been approached with, I’ve said yes. This has pushed me to try new things. Normally I’m set in my ways, but I really want to be open and willing to learn and have a lot of people willing to teach me. And in order to do that, you just have to be open. How is this apprenticeship different from other job experiences you have had? First of all, you have to commit to the apprenticeship, learn the material and get paid while you’re learning. That is something that’s unheard of. It is nice to have apprenticeships come back in popularity in a way that we can learn on the job and do things the way they should be done instead of only from a book. It’s very different to learn something in a book than hands-on in a job. #### HVAC Registered Apprenticeship Program Kicks off for NH High-schoolers On October 8th, four high school seniors took the first steps on their career path to become an HVAC Mechanic and Installer through the ApprenticeshipNH and ApprenticeshipNH-High School Program. The pre-apprenticeship to registered apprenticeship pathway model is possible through ApprenticeshipNH’s partnership with Concord Regional Technical Center, Pinkerton Academy and two leading HVAC companies in southern NH; AJ Leblanc Heating, A/C, Plumbing, and Electrical of Bedford and MSI Mechanical Systems Inc. of Salem. The first cohort of HVAC technician apprentices began October 8 and will continue through June 2022. The pre-apprenticeship to registered apprenticeship pathway allows high students to explore careers through work-based learning experiences that lead to paid internships and end with a full-time registered apprentice opportunity. The model not only gives students the opportunity to take part in hand-on learning and experiences, but also provides companies with the ability to develop a talent pipeline. Students of the program will begin by participating in a job shadow consisting of two full days with each company during October, November, and December while taking the HVAC 101 course at Manchester Community College.  Each student will then apply for a paid internship at the company of their choice and then be guaranteed an interview to become a registered apprentice upon graduation. #### June 15 Event at Manchester Community College Explores Benefits of Apprenticeship Program ApprenticeshipNH, a program that seeks to address workforce needs in various sectors throughout the state through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training, will hold a networking and panel discussion event on Friday, June 15. The event will be held from 8:30 to 10 am in room 100 at Manchester Community College (MCC), 1066 Front Street in Manchester. New Hampshire businesses and community members are encouraged to join the discussion which will focus on the positive impact apprenticeship programs have on the partnering businesses, as well as the benefits apprentices receive from participating. “The event at MCC will serve as an opportunity for companies in the technology, healthcare and advanced manufacturing sectors to hear from other businesses about how participating in the ApprenticeshipNH program has benefitted their company,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. “This initiative provides workers with invaluable opportunities to pursue highly-skilled, high-paying jobs, and opportunities for employers seeking to build a qualified workforce in New Hampshire. It’s a great opportunity for companies to ask questions and learn about the unique value proposition ApprenticeshipNH can provide for both the company and the individual.” The June 15 event will feature networking and a panel discussion with professionals from companies that have existing apprenticeship programs through ApprenticeshipNH and the chance to obtain information about sponsoring a Registered Apprenticeship program. Attendees will be able to hear from Jonathan DaSilva, regional learning manager for CVS Health, Emily Gaudette, director of organizational development at Catholic Medical Center, and Hope Kelly, director of human resources at Granite State Manufacturing.

Register here! #### Manchester Community College Becomes First Sponsor of CCSNH’s ApprenticeshipNH Program for Information Technology Manchester Community College (MCC) has become the sponsor of three information technology (IT) career pathways through ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce program of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). MCC will work with employers to secure Cyber Security Support Technician, Network Support Specialist and Technical Support Specialist pathways for adults and high schoolers through registered and pre-apprentice programs, creating a workforce pipeline to help fill in-demand jobs with skilled employees. “It is tremendously valuable to incorporate registered apprenticeships into MCC’s already robust computer science and cybersecurity programs,” said Brian Bicknell, president of MCC. “This pathway to IT occupations enables any business with IT staffing needs to work with us to easily create apprentice programs and help fill career gaps.” As the world continues to drive technology forward, nearly every business has IT positions, and many have immediate and ongoing needs for skilled workers. Registered Apprenticeships are a proven solution for employers with workforce shortages to hire and retain workers while acting as an opportunity for apprentices to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages and develop new skills in high-demand fields. Under the sponsorship with MCC, employers can enter a one-page agreement to provide a mentor for the on-the-job training and support for the apprentice. High school students can directly enter the apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship through Running Start and Early College courses, providing dual high school and college credit, while completing on-the-job training part-time. “Community colleges serving as sponsors for registered apprenticeship programs is an evidence-based model that we hope to expand to other colleges throughout the state,” said Becky Lewis, workforce development director at CCSNH. “By partnering with MCC, this program is helping meet the needs and demands of the tech sector as it continues to grow in New Hampshire. Employers can sign on now and tap into a talent pool that may be available over the summer to start on-the-job training and register for courses in the fall. This unique program enables employers to build a pipeline of talent for Technical Support Specialists to Network Support Specialists and Cyber Security Support Technicians through a stackable program that fills all three functional areas with one individual.” All training and related instruction is fully developed through MCC using national guidelines from Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), the IT industry’s top trade association and issuing body for professional certifications. The related technical instruction at MCC ranges from 360 to 753 hours. The program includes one to four years of on-the-job training using the “earn while you learn” model. Upon completion of the program, apprentices will earn a U.S. Department of Labor Certificate of Completion, CompTIA certification, WorkReadyNH certification and badge and college credit from MCC to use towards an associate degree program. In its 2022 national Cyberstates Report, CompTIA reported that 54,284 were employed in technology-related jobs in New Hampshire. This totaled 7.8% of total employment, ranking N.H. as sixth highest nationally. Estimated median wages in the industry in the Granite State were 114% higher than the median state wage. “These new apprenticeships enable individuals to enter a lucrative and growing field with marketable skills that are in demand,” said Julie Demers, executive director of the NH Tech Alliance. “It’s great to see these creative partnerships being designed to provide ready-made opportunities for those interested in the tech sector.” Employers who are interested in an IT apprenticeship program at MCC should contact mpatrick@ccsnh.edu. #### Matthew Robillard First in NH to Earn Associate Degree while Completing Automotive Technology Registered Apprenticeship May 2025 was a busy month for Manchester resident Matthew Robillard. He completed his Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) at Merchants Automotive Group and became a technician at the company, earned his associate degree in Automotive Technology from Manchester Community College (MCC), and he and his wife celebrated the birth of their first child. “It was kind of a mad dash to make it all happen,” he admitted. Robillard is the first New Hampshire apprentice in the automotive industry to receive his associate degree while completing an apprenticeship program. Credits earned at MCC while completing the apprenticeship automotive courses, coupled with some general education credits from Suffolk University and Quincy College earlier in life, enabled him to meet the associate degree requirements. “School didn’t come naturally to me when I was younger and I had a bad early experience with college, but I’m grateful that my time at Suffolk and Quincy ended up helping me years down the road,” Robillard said. After a few years trying different professions in his 20’s, Robillard set his sights on a career in the automotive industry. He had always enjoyed working on cars and built on that interest through automotive jobs in Massachusetts before moving to New Hampshire in 2022 at the age of 32. When he interviewed for a job at Hooksett-based Merchants Automotive Group, he was given the opportunity to join the company as a flat rate technician or expand his knowledge and boost his career potential by participating in Merchants’ apprenticeship program. Merchants Automotive Group is one of nine New Hampshire auto dealers that offer RAPs sponsored by the New Hampshire Auto Dealers Association (NHADA). In 2021, NHADA, ApprenticeshipNH and the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) collaborated to create standards and the training program for an initial automotive technician apprenticeship program. This program became the foundation for subsequent apprenticeships for tune-up mechanics and automotive mechanics. As the program sponsor, NHADA administers, manages, and sets standards for the apprenticeships while CCSNH provides the educational component and ApprenticeshipNH provides technical assistance, helps secure state and federal approvals, and collaborates with NHADA to provide scholarships to help cover the educational costs for apprentices. “Automotive technology education programs are among the most popular trade offerings at New Hampshire’s community colleges. Through our partnership with NHADA and individual dealers, we extend that learning with vital on-the-job training to meet current and future workforce needs and help people advance while earning and learning,” said Anne Banks, apprenticeship programs manager for the Community College System of New Hampshire. Adam Memmolo, workforce development coordinator at NHADA, says 500,000 more automotive technicians are projected to be needed nationally by 2027. He hopes that more New Hampshire dealers will leverage the power of apprenticeships to attract and train more technicians to meet this demand. “The ones who offer apprenticeships have full shops and are filling their pipelines for the future,” he commented. Merchants Automotive Group embraced the apprenticeship model as soon as NHADA created the program. Joe Wentworth, assistant director of talent management at Merchants, had experience with apprenticeships before he joined Merchants in 2021. He championed their effectiveness to strategically build and train a workforce rather than compete for scarce talent in a tough labor market. “We were really struggling to recruit after the pandemic because technicians were retiring or leaving the field for other reasons. Apprenticeships create a pipeline from the bottom up. We now have a three-phase program so you can go from no experience to having your associate degree, as well as a pre-apprenticeship program for high school students. At this point, we don’t go looking for applicants because we have people coming to us,” he said. The Merchants apprenticeship program combines 2,000 hours of paid, on-the-job training with classes at MCC twice a week for eight weeks for each of the automotive technician, tune-up mechanic and automotive mechanic apprenticeships. Merchants pays apprentices while they are in the classroom and most of the tuition fees. The company also covers the cost of books and provides tool kits for apprentices. “It is a significant expense, but it became much more financially feasible because of the grant assistance we got from ApprenticeshipNH and NHADA,” Wentworth explained. Robillard was motivated to become an apprentice primarily to learn more about handling electrical work. He completed Merchants’ RAPs knowing so much more than he anticipated and says he is now comfortable tackling any challenge. “Give me a couple of years of putting what I’ve learned into practice, and I’ll be an incredibly valuable technician,” he commented. Robillard was first to blaze a trail to an associate degree in automotive technology through New Hampshire’s apprenticeship program, but other Merchants employee are expected to follow very soon. The company anticipates meeting future workforce needs by maintaining eight to 10 people each year in apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships for high school students. “Our goal is to continue to build the skills of young people and create a strong industry,” said Wentworth. “We are proud of Matt and all he has accomplished and look forward to a stream of future employees following in his footsteps.” #### Measuring ROI for Registered Apprenticeship Programs Business leaders understand that a key factor to ensuring profitability comes down to being able to effectively monitor and measure the return on investment (ROI) of various expenditures. For many organizations, human capital is one of the most significant investments, especially in areas like financial services or insurance that require specialized skills or knowledge. Fortunately, a Registered Apprenticeship is an effective tool for employers to attract, train and retain new talent while adding stability to their workforce pipeline. One of the principal benefits for both individual employers and industries as a whole when implementing a Registered Apprenticeship is an improved ability to forecast future needs against available resources. By hiring apprentices to fill necessary roles, employers gain access to a hire-ready workforce that is trained according to contemporary industry standards and competencies. This in turn supports an aging workforce by ensuring a gradual knowledge transfer over time through mentorship and minimizing the potential for lost productivity upon the retirement of more senior employees. This pipeline of skilled employees also ultimately decreases the reliance upon external hiring for management-level positions by upskilling existing staff, thus reducing recruitment costs. Another benefit for employers participating in a Registered Apprenticeship lies in the fact that it is not a static curriculum, but a dynamic reflection of the changing skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in a particular field. This is seen in the way ApprenticeshipNH works directly with employers in developing the components of a new apprenticeship and ensuring the experience is relevant and applicable to the contemporary demands of the industry. Over the course of the apprenticeship, the period of guided on-the-job training can also help ensure future proficiency in the role to be filled by the apprentice. Furthermore, the benefit is reciprocal by keeping employers up to date on the latest trends and technologies relevant to their field and enabling them to effectively customize the next generation of employees by focusing on key areas of future business needs. This adaptability is especially applicable at the high school level where students can be prepared for a rapidly changing job market by pairing existing coursework with work-based learning experiences. By providing authentic, experience-based learning opportunities, students can receive training for in-demand careers in a way that supports a smooth transition from high school to college, a continuing education program or other career options. In the business and finance sector, there has been a consistent demand for qualified employees in New Hampshire for decades and the trend is likely to continue as forecasts through 2028 predict as many as 600 job openings for accountants and auditors across the state annually. The mutual benefits to both employers and apprentices are visible throughout the course of the apprenticeship, not just when the apprentice graduates to a journey worker. This is favorable for both the short-term and long-term productivity of the employer, as the hiring of an apprentice results in enhanced output for the organization that increases over time with the apprentice’s own knowledge and abilities. The mutual benefits can be translated to a dollar amount that is approximately $1.50 for every dollar invested into an apprenticeship program. This figure is representative of how a formalized approach to apprenticeship is mutually beneficial, in a financial sense, to both the apprentice and their employer. Since 2017, ApprenticeshipNH has helped businesses develop over 50 Registered Apprenticeship programs and helped over 300 New Hampshire residents find opportunities. Employers interested in developing an apprenticeship of their own may visit https://apprenticeshipnh.com/request-info/for-employers/ to get started. Don’t forget to register for the National Apprenticeship Week celebration this Friday, November 19th from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. #### Mentorship Plays an Important Role in Apprenticeship Programs A key element to a successful and positive learning experience for an apprentice often comes down to the input and supervision of a mentor. In a Registered Apprenticeship program, the sponsoring employer is required to identify skilled employees who have the knowledge to take on a mentorship role and guide and assist apprentices as they move through on-the-job training. Mentorship is an essential part of Registered Apprenticeships and helps ensure apprentices are successful in their on-the-job training by providing tools and resources to the company employees who will be mentoring them. To help ensure that mentors are properly prepared for this role, they may complete a three-week online training course. Upon completion, participants are presented with an ApprenticeshipNH Mentor Training Certificate of Completion. “The mentor training program was helpful because it gave me a lot of new perspectives to think about as we move forward with our apprenticeship program,” said Ray Perry, injectors center leader at Spraying Systems Co. in Merrimack. “I believe this training program will make me a better mentor and ultimately benefit our apprentices and company.” The mentor training program includes sessions to help individuals better understand and prepare for working with apprentices. Module topics include understanding different learning styles, problem solving and goal setting, cultural competence and communication and conflict resolution. The training program also provides an opportunity to learn from other professionals across different sectors to share and develop best practices together. Mentors leave the training program with a better understanding of how the apprenticeship program is structured and how their roles fit into the larger goals of the apprenticeship program that their employer sponsors. The value of a good mentor with the right resources, knowledge and skills to prepare apprentices for their new career is paramount. At the same time, employers also benefit from the assurance that their new employees possess real world experience along with a network of resources and colleagues with invaluable advice that help them remain highly engaged. The structured approach to mentorship in the workplace also creates a positive and collaborative work environment that is beneficial to experienced staff, newer team members and apprentices alike. “I get to work with seasoned nurses who have been on the job for 30 plus years who know a lot and are amazing. There are also brand-new nurses who are right out of the training program and they are also amazing,” said Hollie MacLean, an apprentice at Coos County Family Health Services. “We all work together and it is a great learning experience.” The mentor training program is available free of charge to all employers who sponsor a Registered Apprenticeship program.

Through this partnership, more opportunities will be created for individuals interested in becoming an auto technician with a hands-on apprenticeship program. “During my more than 40 years of managing auto dealer service and parts departments, I have never been as excited about a training opportunity than this one,” said Drew Young, Service Director at Merchants Auto. “This program allows both franchised and non-franchised operations to expose young people to our industry and get professional training at a very high level. This is exactly what our industry needs, and the timing could not be better. My staff and I are both proud and excited that we are part of it.” Merchants is the second dealership in New Hampshire to participate in the program, which seeks to work with students who are interested in pursuing a career in the growing and evolving field of automotive technology. Banks Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC in Concord was the first employer to sign on to NHADA’s automotive technician registered apprenticeship program earlier this year. The NHADA Consortium Automotive Technician Apprenticeship program is the first of its kind in New Hampshire and will match an employer’s current need for skilled workers with job seekers looking to begin a career in automotive technology, an in-demand field with significant growth opportunities. The partnership was formalized during the 2020 National Apprenticeship Week celebration event when NHADA signed paperwork to become an industry sponsor for an automotive technician Registered Apprenticeship program. The partnership follows the “earn as you learn model,” which is the backbone of the ApprenticeshipNH program that enables apprentices to attain skills on the job to advance professionally while acquiring knowledge in classroom instruction. This consortium agreement gives NHADA members the opportunity to participate in the program by completing a simplified one-page agreement with NHADA. The on-the-job training takes place at the participating NHADA member’s place of business. Training focuses on gaining experience in safety, suspension and steering, brakes, electronic systems and engine performance. The related instruction that complements the on-the-job training includes two credit-bearing courses: Automotive Service Maintenance & Light Repair and Electronic Systems. Classwork is being offered at five colleges across the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) – Great Bay Community College in Rochester, Lakes Region Community College in Laconia, Manchester Community College, Nashua Community College and White Mountains Community College in Berlin. The multiple locations and schedules provide employers and apprentices from across the state with flexibility in building partnerships and completing the related instruction. The total funding of the ApprenticeshipNH initiative is $7.29 million with 99% funded through the following US Department of Labor-Employment and Training Administration Grants at the dollar amounts indicated: Apprenticeship State Expansion (ASE) Grant-$1.35 million, State Apprenticeship Expansion (SAE) Grant- $2.05 million, American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Grant- $450,000, State Apprenticeship Expansion 2020 (SAE2020) Grant- $3.45 million. Additional scholarship support of less than 1% is provided by 3rd party scholarship grants for programs developed through the ASE and SAE grants.   Watch the Merchants Apprenticeship Program video: #### National Apprenticeship Week 2022: Apprenticeship Near You!

Following the “earn while you learn” model of ApprenticeshipNH, Nashua Community College (NCC) and Keene State College (KSC) are developing and delivering the academic programming for this customized program, which launched with its first cohort in January. Smiths Medical is a global company that supplies specialized medical devices and equipment for global markets, focusing on the medication delivery, vital care and safety devices market segments. Their Keene facility employs 360 and focuses on assembly and packaging of blood sampling devices, syringes for injection and has contracts with the US government for COVID-19 vaccinations. They have a mix of automation and custom operations. The initial group will take their knowledge of operating machinery they have developed and supplement that with classroom instruction and 4,000 hours of hands-on equipment maintenance training as part of the apprenticeship. The skill sets they will develop align with a newer field often referred to as mechatronics, which focuses on automation and includes mechanical engineering and some electrical engineering skills. “We wanted to develop the pool of talent and provide career steppingstones for our current employees. It’s difficult to find people with engineer-level skills. The ApprenticeshipNH team helped us envision how we could build and scale a program that will provide these employees with invaluable, cutting edge engineering skills that will lead to growth and supervisory opportunities and a pathway to earn a college degree over the longer term,” said Jonathan Tomachick, engineering manager and site SES leader for the Smiths Medical Keene operations. ApprenticeshipNH is an initiative housed at the Community College System of NH that seeks to address workforce needs in specific sectors throughout the state by creating Registered Apprenticeship opportunities within the information technology, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, hospitality, automotive, biotechnology and infrastructure/construction sectors. The program was established in 2017 through a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. To date, hundreds of individuals and dozens of companies have benefitted from the program. The ApprenticeshipNH program model often includes a high level of customization in the model to address specific employer needs through the academic and hands-on components that are the core of every apprenticeship program. Working with ApprenticeshipNH, KSC and NCC created a blended curriculum that was attractive to the needs of Smiths Medical. This included developing a custom course for computer literacy and aptitude that ties directly into the skillsets the company needs. KSC offers more courses in liberal arts and the design spectrum. NCC brings more of the technical skills components. “Having weekly modules really fits well for balancing my job and my family time. My professor is very easy to work with and his online videos for content reviews are very easy to follow. Continuing your education has benefits for yourself and your company. Anyone who is considering an apprenticeship can see that this program has great benefits,” said Marcello Hart, one of the current Smiths Medical apprentices. Apprentices in the program are exposed to project related work and outside assignments through a blend of hands-on examples and on the job training. Through this work, they will get exposed to the equipment used by Smiths Medical and learn about troubleshooting by partnering with an engineering technician in house that can help with coaching. Smiths Medical is already planning for recruiting for a second cohort in late 2021. #### New Carpentry Apprenticeship Program Addresses Workforce Shortage Associated Builders and Contractors of NH/VT and NH Home Builders Association partner on new three-year program available to 900 local employers On November 18, during the National Apprenticeship Week celebration in NH, Associated Builders and Contractors of New Hampshire and Vermont (ABC NH/VT) in partnership with New Hampshire Homebuilders Association (NHHBA) signed standards to create a new three-year Registered Carpentry Apprenticeship program through the ApprenticeshipNH initiative and with Manchester Community College (MCC). This new consortium program will help address the shortage and demand for carpenters across the state by connecting with nearly 900 employers in the combined ABC NH/VT and NHHBA associations. “We are excited to roll out the new Registered Carpentry Apprenticeship program with two of NH’s biggest building and construction associations, ABC NH/VT and NHHBA, to help solve the workforce puzzle in New Hampshire,” said Tracey Jackson, ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “The trades, like many industries, are in need of workers and this new program will help address that and create a new pipeline of skilled workers.” Workforce development is one of the biggest challenges facing residential and commercial construction companies. According to a study by the National Center for Construction Education & Research, approximately 41% of the construction workforce will retire in the next 10 years. The average age of a worker in the construction industry is increasing at a faster rate than worker age for all US industries. “Through this partnership with ABC NH/VT and NHHBA, we were able to develop a Carpentry Apprenticeship program as a pathway for students to enter a viable career either while in high school or directly upon graduation,” said Anne Banks, ApprenticeshipNH High School grant manager. “This will help with workforce shortages by creating a formalized system to train the next generation of carpenters.” Job seekers will also be introduced to carpentry through on-the-job training and related instruction, all while earning pay. Employers will assist in training these workers to fill open positions. Using the “earn-while-you-learn” model of ApprenticeshipNH, the three-year program includes 455 hours of classroom instruction at MCC and 6,000 hours of on-the-job training. “We are excited for the opportunity and career pathways our consortium model carpentry apprenticeship program provides for Granite Staters,” said Josh Reap, president and CEO of ABC NH/VT. “Creation of this program is part of the industry’s solution to address the workforce shortage, and ABC is proud to be a program sponsor. Each person that enters the apprenticeship program is on the path to earning a competitive salary, learning new skills and answering the call to help solve the construction industry’s workforce shortage.” NHHBA has a combined membership of nearly 600 companies, employing over 30,000 NH citizens in every aspect of the building industry. “This is a fantastic opportunity for the young men and women of New Hampshire who may be considering joining the residential construction trades,” said Joe Harnois, acting president of NHHBA. “Never before have you seen federal and state entities partner with the private sector carpentry trades to offer a long-term viable pathway into a great career field. I have been awaiting this day and am thrilled to have signed the memorandum of understanding moving this important initiative forward.” Registered Apprenticeships are a proven solution for businesses with workforce shortages to hire and retain workers while acting as an opportunity for jobseekers to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages and develop new skills in high-demand fields. Programs focus on opportunities within the advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, business and finance, construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology sectors. The addition of the ApprenticeshipNH-High School team is proving to play an integral role in the development of a talent pipeline by connecting sponsors with high school students through a pre-apprenticeship to Registered Apprenticeship pathway.   PHOTO Seated: Matt Mayberry, Executive Director – NH Home Builders Association; Joe Harnois, President – NH Home Builders; Jeff Luter, Chairman – Fulcrum Associates, Jennifer Landon, VP of Education & Workforce Development – Associated Builders and Contractors, NH/VT Standing: Liz Arcieri-HS Apprentice and Business Outreach Specialist, Kris Dudley-Director, Workforce Development Center at MCC, Anne Banks, ApprenticeshipNH-High School Grant Manager; Brian Bicknell, President – Manchester Community College; Loula Kalampalikis, Workforce Development Administrator & WorkreadyNH Statewide Director, Tracey Jackson-ApprenticeshipNH-Adult Grant Manager, Mary Ann Gaschnig-HS Apprentice and Business Outreach Specialist. #### New General Insurance Associate Apprenticeship Program Addresses Workforce Shortage The New Hampshire Association of Insurance Agents (NHAIA) recently signed standards to create a new 18-month Registered General Insurance Associate Apprenticeship program through ApprenticeshipNH, a program within the Community College System of NH. This new consortium program will help address workforce needs through a statewide alliance of 2,000 business owners and employees who offer all types of insurance and financial services products. “Working with NHAIA and connecting directly to its statewide trade association is just another way that we are helping solve the workforce puzzle in New Hampshire,” said Tracey Jackson, CCSNH’s ApprenticeshipNH grant manager. “It’s important for companies to have a consistent pool of qualified candidates who can earn while they learn, and this program will help do that.” “Partnering with NHAIA to develop a General Insurance Associate Apprenticeship program will provide students with relevant training and hands-on experience that will put them on a pathway to enter a viable career either while in high school or directly upon graduation,” said Anne Banks, ApprenticeshipNH High School grant manager. “This is part of the next generation of young talented insurance agents who will have a career path mapped out for a future of success.” Job seekers will be introduced to the insurance industry through on-the-job training and related instruction, all while earning competitive pay. Employers will assist in training these workers to fill open positions. Using the “earn-while-you-learn” model of ApprenticeshipNH, the program includes over 2,100 hours of on-the-job training along with nearly 150 of related technical instruction through NHAIA. NHAIA is part of Big I – Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America – and is the state’s largest provider of insurance education. This is association-sponsored program includes multiple opportunities at a wide variety of insurance agencies, both large and small, across the state. NHAIA is a voluntary statewide trade association and as consortium sponsor, the 2,000 business owners and employees of NHAIA can enter into a simple, one-page agreement to participate in the apprenticeship program, simplifying the process for the employer. Registered Apprenticeships are a proven solution for businesses with workforce shortages to hire and retain workers while acting as an opportunity for jobseekers to earn immediate employment with steadily increasing wages and develop new skills in high-demand fields. Programs focus on opportunities within the advanced manufacturing, automotive technology, biomedical technology, business and finance, construction and infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology sectors.

Through the Registered Apprenticeship program, individuals interested in pursuing careers related to automotive and biomedical technology “earn-while-you-learn” through a combination of classroom instruction with one of the seven colleges in the Community College System of NH (CCSNH) and receive on-the-job training with a workforce partner who hires the apprentice. Created in 2017, the ApprenticeshipNH program seeks to address workforce needs in high-demand sectors throughout the state, including advanced manufacturing, construction & infrastructure, healthcare, hospitality and information technology. To date, hundreds of New Hampshire residents have participated in the program and those who have completed apprenticeships have expanded their skills and knowledge and seen increased wages. The grant-funded program is run by CCSNH. “We are excited to build off of the successful model for ApprenticeshipNH and add two more critical sectors of the workforce to the program. These are growth areas for our economy and offer career advancement opportunities and good incomes. When combined with our experience across the community college system of offering training programs in automotive and biomedical technology, we are confident that our programs will be a win-win for employers and apprentices,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. Automotive technology in New Hampshire There has been a consistent demand for qualified automotive technicians across New Hampshire. Customized training programs are built into an NH automotive technology apprenticeship to help individuals develop and fine-tune the skills they need for in-demand jobs, or to advance within the automotive profession. Automotive technology has been one of the primary programs at several community colleges across the state and the colleges have long-standing partnerships with automotive dealerships. Focusing on entry-level technicians, the automotive technology Registered Apprenticeship program offers another approach to the industry’s workforce development needs, especially for small businesses and auto care centers. Courtesy Photo Biomedical technology in New Hampshire The biomedical technology sector is at the forefront of developing life-saving services and treatments. Rapidly evolving biomedical technology offers rewarding career and advancement opportunities for people with a wide variety of skills and backgrounds. Existing training programs across CCSNH – including a state-of-the-art, nationally recognized biotechnology program at Great Bay Community College – have focused on providing workforce training and skills development that can be weaved into an NH biomedical technology apprenticeship. Employment opportunities include biomanufacturing technicians, quality control inspectors and technicians and purification operators for the pharmaceutical industry. Occupations in the medical device industry include technicians/assemblers, equipment calibrators and quality control technicians. There also is an increasing demand for medical, dental and clinical technicians. Courtesy Photo   Both sectors offer starting salaries that are more than double New Hampshire’s minimum wage. The median hourly wage for automotive technicians is $20.70 or $43,060 per year. Opportunities are wide-ranging, with 43% of the jobs in motor vehicle and parts dealers, 34% in repair and maintenance shops and another 11% are self-employed. The average entry hourly wage in NH for biomedical technicians is $17.81 with a median wage of $24.23. The industry has a projected growth rate through 2026 of 10.7% annually. #### NH Food Bank, ApprenticeshipNH and MCC Collaborate to Offer New Preparation Cook Registered Apprenticeship Program Manchester, NH (March 5, 2026) – ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH), and Manchester Community College (MCC) have joined forces with the New Hampshire Food Bank (Food Bank) to create a one-year Preparation Cook Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP). The program combines paid, on-the-job training and 144 hours of related instruction, all offered at the Food Bank’s fully equipped production kitchen located on East Industrial Park Drive in Manchester. “We often work with employers to develop their own workforce through apprenticeships. Our collaboration with the New Hampshire Food Bank is an exciting opportunity to address workforce needs across New Hampshire’s entire hospitality sector,” said Tracey Jackson, Hub Coordinator for ApprenticeshipNH. Stacie Merrifield, director of the Food Bank’s culinary and nutrition programs, said that the RAP is just one way the New Hampshire Food Bank supports a statewide network of partners to alleviate food insecurity and nourish and strengthen communities. “Part of the New Hampshire Food Bank’s mission is to fight the root causes of hunger by empowering people to learn new skills. This apprenticeship is an innovative way to fulfill our mission, while also supporting our restaurant partners and the community by helping train a workforce dedicated to feeding New Hampshire,” Merrifield said. The new RAP will begin in April. On-the-job training will provide hands-on experience in professional kitchen operations, food preparation and culinary skills, food safety, inventory management and a wide range of other capabilities. The Food Bank collaborated with MCC to develop a seven-week curriculum teaching food preparation, nutrition and business basics. Students will venture outside of the kitchen to visit local farms and fisheries to learn about the complex ecosystem of food distribution and the importance of sustainable agriculture. The course will be taught by the Food Bank’s Chef Instructor and is open to both RAP participants and MCC students. Chuck Neild, MCC’s workforce development program manager, worked closely with the Food Bank to develop the curriculum. “This is a short-term workforce program where graduates will have a certificate of completion that opens doors to employment or creates a pathway to continue their educational journey in hospitality or culinary arts,” he explained. “MCC has a long-standing relationship with the New Hampshire Food Bank, and we are excited to collaborate on this program, which will expand outreach in a new area of workforce development for the college and the local community,” said MCC President Paul Beaudin. The New Hampshire Food Bank applied for and received grant funding from the U.S. Department of Labor through ApprenticeshipNH to offset the costs of starting the RAP.

(September 5, 2024) – ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce training program of the Community College System of NH (CCSNH), is growing again, this time expanding into another area of critical workforce need and market demand in New Hampshire. ApprenticeshipNH and A Place to Grow LLC, a nature-based early learning center in Brentwood, N.H., have collaborated with New Hampshire’s Office of Apprenticeship and other stakeholders to create the nation’s first Registered Early Childhood Director Apprenticeship Program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). By pioneering an Early Childhood Director apprenticeship, New Hampshire is leading the way to create a career pathway to encourage individuals to enter the field, as well as vital education and training to help build needed additional childcare capacity in the Granite State. This new Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) develops entrepreneurial and small business skills so individuals with early childhood education experience have a pathway to own or manage childcare facilities. “It was a team effort to secure a rare federal approval of a new Registered Apprenticeship occupation. Our program will serve as a model for other states,” said Christopher Lalmond, Hub Developer at CCSNH’s ApprenticeshipNH. As a federally approved program, apprentices in the Early Childhood Director program are eligible to receive up to $2,000 in federal scholarship funds and up to $1,500 for support services to help remove barriers to accessing the educational component of the apprenticeship, such as the cost of books, testing fees, and background checks. Coursework focuses on developing entrepreneurial and small business management skills and may be completed online or in-person through any of the CCSNH’s seven colleges. The coursework is combined with two years of formalized, paid, on-the-job mentorship and learning. Before this new registered apprenticeship was established, childcare operators typically learned to run a business through daily experience and trial and error. The Early Childhood Director apprenticeship provides the childcare field with a continuum of training and education that supports individuals from entry-level jobs to management positions. As of March 2024, there were more than 53,000 children under the age of six in New Hampshire’s working families, yet the state’s childcare facilities offered only 31,000 total spots. According to statistics compiled by Child Care Aware® of America, 46 percent of Granite Staters live in a “childcare desert,” defined as areas with so few childcare options that three children are waiting for each childcare slot available. “Clearly we need more childcare centers, but we need to have more well-trained professionals capable of opening more centers and operating a business, whether it is a small childcare business in a home or a much larger facility,” said Jennifer Legere, founder of A Place to Grow who played a lead role in helping design and build this new partnership. The DOL requires that RAPs be industry-led to ensure they reflect real world needs and align with industry standards. As owner of a childcare facility, Legere’s involvement was essential to both the development and approval of the new apprenticeship. “Jen saw there was a gap in industry training and came to us with a need for small business education to complement childcare experience. She aligned the actual on-the-job training tasks with New Hampshire credentialing standards and brought in an entire world of new education and training so all future childhood director apprentices will receive small business education complementing their childcare experience. Her work is groundbreaking,” said Lalmond. In January 2024, CCSNH provided a $25,000 planning grant through ApprenticeshipNH to fund Legere’s work laying the groundwork for the new, two-year RAP. Numerous stakeholders were involved in the planning process, including the DOL Office of Apprenticeship-NH, the Coos County Director Network and other childcare providers. ApprenticeshipNH and Legere also consulted with leaders involved with one-year, state-approved early childhood director programs in Kentucky and Massachusetts. The formal application for federal approval of a new Early Childhood Director apprenticeship program was submitted to the DOL in March 2024, supported by letters from New Hampshire’s members of Congress and national childcare and business leaders. Federal approval was granted in July 2024. Visit ApprenticeshipNH.com for more information.

However, on a local level, it feels more like a small town. The phrase “We’re all in this together” is a fitting statement since this region is largely shaped by seasonality, tourism, geography, and history. On Tuesday, June 6, I traveled through New Hampshire’s White Mountains to attend the annual SkiNH Conference & Tradeshow. The drive along the tree-lined access road to Waterville Valley Ski Resort was the last bit of quiet that I experienced before entering the highly energized conference, where nearly 400 industry and community partners gathered to share, collaborate, celebrate, problem-solve, and join forces to address the challenges and opportunities facing ski and outdoor-recreation communities. Round table discussions were focused on developing recruitment and retention strategies to address the workforce needs of the region. Conversations with stakeholders focused on ways in which the ApprenticeshipNH Hub fits into the community’s quality of life and revitalization strategies. Collaboration is something we do by nature in the North Country, and increasingly, with nature in mind. The roster of attendees at the conference illustrated this point. By the end of the conference, I had connected with members of the business/information technology, construction, manufacturing, and hospitality sectors. Everyone I spoke with was passionate about their work and place in New Hampshire. Each industry partner had identified their share of challenges and barriers and were actively seeking to resolve them. We discussed how Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) are proven long-term employment strategies, focusing on building sustainable talent pipelines that lead to rewarding careers and retention. I especially enjoyed dialogue with staff members from the Mount Washington Observatory, who are working to expand opportunities in weather science to high school students, recognizing the value of early exposure to practical experiences in STEM for young people. The Pemi Wilderness from the Kancamagus Highway The conference concluded on a high note with an awards ceremony for three well-deserving and inspiring recipients. As I drove home along the Kancamagus Highway, I reflected on the theme of multiple conversations shared at the conference: in New Hampshire, we have it all – stunning seasons set against wild landscapes, small, caring communities, quality schools, and meaningful career prospects. I am excited about the people who recognize and respect our natural and human-made resources. Those who are working to bring other voices into the conversation, improve career pathways, address tomorrow’s problems today, and celebrate the collaborative spirit of Granite Staters! – Chris Lalmond, Northern Hub Developer #### Program Milestone Celebrated for BAE Systems Apprentices Congratulations to eight new Quality Precision Inspector apprentices from BAE Systems for completing their initial 200 hours of classroom instruction at Nashua Community College.

While this has been an ongoing challenge for many industries, it has become more prevalent over the last several years due to an ongoing shortage of skilled workers that directly impacts their operations and growth. Registered Apprenticeships are a proven solution for businesses with workforce shortages to hire and retain workers while acting as an opportunity for jobseekers to earn immediate employment, steadily increase wages and develop new skills in high-demand fields. On average, 90% of apprentices stay employed after completing the program. Through the ApprenticeshipNH initiative, employers within key sectors of the state’s economy can develop workforce development programs to create a pipeline of skilled workers through a Registered Apprenticeship program. Known as the “Earn As You Learn” model,” ApprenticeshipNH combines on-the-job training and classroom education through the seven colleges in the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) to increase an apprentice’s skills. Housed within CCSNH and funded through grants from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, ApprenticeshipNH works with employers to develop and implement Registered Apprenticeships at their organization while also providing support in the recruitment of apprentices. This partnership yields a talented pool of candidates who possess a clear understanding of the specific challenges and nuanced work environment of their employer. Participating employers have experienced increased productivity, boosted employee retention, improved company culture and an ensured knowledge transfer when filling retiring positions with qualified, skilled workers. ApprenticeshipNH facilitates this mutual benefit by: Serving as an intermediary during the development of the Registered Apprenticeship program Assisting with development of on-the-job training and accompanying classroom instruction Offsetting training costs Identifying and removing barriers for participants Coordinating local, state and federal funding sources to mitigate the program costs for employers and apprentices ApprenticeshipNH adheres to the standard set by the U.S. Department of Labor and identifies five primary components of a Registered Apprenticeship, including: business involvement, structured on-the-job training, related instruction, rewards for skill gains, and a nationally-recognized credential. At a minimum, an apprenticeship requires 144 hours of classroom learning and 2,000 hours of paid, on-the-job training. When an employer is ready to begin the process of becoming a Registered Apprenticeship, a Standards of Apprenticeship document must be drafted and approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. ApprenticeshipNH serves as an intermediary during the development phase and guides employers through a standardized set of steps to create the written plan that outlines all components of the apprenticeship. To learn more about the steps required to start a Registered Apprenticeship, employers can download this helpful checklist.

Don’t forget to register for the National Apprenticeship Week celebration this Friday, November 19th from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.   #### Spotlight on Learning Exchanges with Germany ApprenticeshipNH had the distinct pleasure of hosting ten German apprentices for two weeks. This occurred after several years of correspondence between the Community College System of New Hampshire and an eager professor in Germany, Dr. Sigrid Sadowsky. The students resided on the campus of NHTI – Concord’s Community College, and were hosted by various employers throughout the state including Freudenberg-NOK, the Concord Chamber of Commerce, Southern NH Medical, and Cookson Communications. Not only did the German apprentices learn more about how apprenticeship works in the state of New Hampshire, the ApprenticeshipNH team also learned the significant role apprenticeship has in Germany’s labor structure. We are pleased that this event was included in the USDOL Office of Apprenticeship’s national newsletter, informing other states that could be interested in replicating our experience. Please see the following article below.   “Apprenticeship opportunities are growing in the United States, as more employers in more sectors discover the benefits of integrated work and learning. But apprenticeship in the United States is still small compared to countries across the Atlantic. In Germany, just over half of all young people aged 18–24 are apprentices, compared to about two percent in the United States. If we look at the workforce as a whole, the proportion made up of apprentices is nearly eight times higher in Germany than in the States. So it makes sense that states working to expand apprenticeship are looking to Germany to see — what can we learn from the German experience? Building on a collaboration launched in 2018, in April a team from Wisconsin traveled to Bonn, Koblenz, and Berlin to explore best practices in Germany for creating student pathways into skilled apprenticeships. The team identified six strategies that may enhance apprenticeship and strengthen the workforce in Wisconsin: Enhance technical colleges’ access to the latest in digital technologies so they can better prepare their students to work with these technologies. Promote awareness of advancement opportunities through apprenticeship. Expand access to dual enrollment opportunities for high school students statewide. Build understanding of apprenticeship among school guidance counselors and teachers in science, technology, engineering, and math fields. Leverage apprenticeships to build on existing skill sets of skilled and experienced refugees and immigrants. Research to identify possible parental attitudes and lack of understanding of the benefits of apprenticeship that may pose barriers to participation.   Also in April, leaders from the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) saw several years of communications with counterparts in Germany come to fruition: They were pleased to host ten German exchange students and two professors for a two-week visit to improve understanding of how apprenticeship works in the United States and Germany. The German exchange students stayed on the campus of NHTI – Concord’s Community College, and were placed in groups of two or three with an employer sponsor, where they enjoyed workplace tours, a variety of job shadowing activities, and the chance to experience the American workday and apprenticeships in action. Accompanied by community college student ambassadors, the exchange students also enjoyed college tours, conversations with apprenticeship partners, and the chance to explore the history and beauty of the State. One of the German professors gave a presentation on the German apprenticeship model. Karyn Yeatman, CCSNH’s SAEF grant manager, says the experience was valuable for learning about the German model, building connections, and creating a sense of community cross-culturally.” USDOL | Employment and Training Administration (ETA) | Office of Apprenticeship newsletter “Apprenticeship Connections” #### Spraying Systems Co. Partners to Address Advanced Manufacturing Workforce Challenges Another NH manufacturer is finding value in upskilling its workforce with support from NH’s community colleges. Spraying Systems Co., a Merrimack-based advanced manufacturer, recently partnered with Nashua Community College (NCC) and the Community College System of New Hampshire’s ApprenticeshipNH – a program that seeks to address workforce needs in various sectors throughout the state by developing registered apprenticeship programs that include focused education and hands-on training at the worksite. The new partnership will enable Spraying Systems employees to gain new skills and access opportunities to pursue more advanced, high-skill careers within the manufacturing industry. In launching this new apprenticeship program, Spraying Systems joins a contingent of manufacturers in the region including Amphenol Printed Circuits, Wire Belt Company of America, and Granite State Manufacturing, who are taking advantage of the opportunity to upskill its workforce. An opportunity to invest in the company’s workforce “Our new partnership with ApprenticeshipNH and Nashua Community College is an opportunity for us to provide our employees with the skills they need to begin a new career in manufacturing,” said Joe Ruelas, vice president of operations at Spraying Systems Co. “In order to meet the demands of our growing business, we need to ensure that we have the necessary skilled talent on board.  Developing an apprenticeship program was a creative way for us to respond to this challenge and to leverage the expertise of our local community college.” The program relies on existing classes from Nashua Community College The new Registered Apprenticeship program at Spraying Systems Co. will train the company’s existing employees to become CNC operators.

Workforce shortages require Governors and policymakers to engage previously untapped talent, especially among underserved populations, including people with disabilities, to develop resilient pipelines that meet current and future labor force demands and provide equitable access to employment and economic opportunity. Building inclusive apprenticeship programs for people with disabilities is a proven strategy that can lead to strong wages, a pathway to future career opportunities and sustainable permanent employment in high-quality jobs. States can work to expand access to apprenticeships for workers with disabilities to develop a more diverse, skilled workforce through strategies including: Developing pre-apprenticeship programs and providing wraparound supports, Leveraging the state’s role as a model employer and Educating employers about the benefits of sponsoring apprentices with disabilities. Please see the full article: nga.org/news/commentary/state-strategies-to-foster-inclusive-apprenticeships-for-people-with-disabilities #### Stonyfield Teams Up with ApprenticeshipNH to Upskill Employees Stonyfield Organic, based in Londonderry, NH, and the country’s leading organic yogurt maker, is leveraging new collaborations to help upskill its existing workforce. Stonyfield has launched a new maintenance repairer Registered Apprenticeship program. The program has been developed through a program with Manchester Community College (MCC) and the ApprenticeshipNH program, which seeks to address workforce needs in industry sectors throughout the state through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training. Two apprentices will complete the inaugural program, which will help them move from entry-level positions within the company into a more technically-skilled job. “A company that invests in its people, in turn, invests in its own future. Put your people first and you will win,” said Justin Boster, Stonyfield’s plant maintenance manager. “Working with Manchester Community College and ApprenticeshipNH has been a great way for Stonyfield to ensure that we have adaptable, qualified employees that can grow and change along with the company.” The apprenticeship utilizes coursework offered by Manchester Community College The program will consist of 848 hours of classroom instruction completed over the course of three years at MCC.  All required coursework is credit-bearing, and college credits earned by the apprentices may be used to complete a number of advanced manufacturing technology degrees or certificates at MCC. The Registered Apprenticeship program at Stonyfield also requires just over three years of on-the-job training, which equates to 6,500 hours. As maintenance repairer apprentices, Stonyfield employees will learn with the support of a mentor how to install, troubleshoot and repair manufacturing and packaging equipment. “This apprenticeship program enables participants to not only begin an exciting new career path in the industry, but also the opportunity to work towards a degree or certificate that allows the apprentices to learn and develop new skills while still receiving a paycheck,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. Throughout the course of the apprenticeship, participants will earn wages with incremental raises as the program progresses. Upon completion, apprentices will receive a national occupational credential from the US Department of Labor, verifying that they are fully qualified as maintenance repairers. “Stonyfield is demonstrating their commitment to their internal talent by developing this apprenticeship opportunity that allows employees to better themselves. Apprentices will have access to exceptional training and education resources that will prepare them to be successful in a new career,” Zeien said. “We applaud Stonyfield for making such a significant investment in their workforce.” Contact us to learn more: To learn more about the ApprenticeshipNH program, including additional information on how your business can get involved, please click here. #### Strengthening Rural Healthcare Pathways Through CCSNH’s Healthcare Career Guidance Hub Initiative Concord, N.H. (March 30, 2026) – The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) is committed to providing high-quality education that connects students to meaningful careers while supporting the State’s workforce needs. With more than $6.7 million in year-one funding from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Rural Health Transformation (RHT) program—and up to $37.7 million over five years—CCSNH is advancing the Governor’s GO-NORTH initiative through a statewide Healthcare Career Guidance Hub (HCGH) Initiative. Key components of the HCGH Initiative include: Establishing four regional hubs focused on healthcare and human services careers, integrating efforts across CCSNH’s seven colleges Leveraging existing strong healthcare programs, employer and educational partnerships, and flexible learning formats Defining and building clear career pathways from high school to hire Building on a proven apprenticeship model to engage employers and define regional workforce needs Providing students with career guidance, training pathways, certifications, pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship opportunities, and job placement support   “CCSNH is excited about the opportunity the Rural Health Transformation grant brings to NH.  This initiative represents exactly the kind of coordinated, forward-thinking approach we need to address New Hampshire’s healthcare workforce challenges. Too often, individuals interested in healthcare careers face unclear pathways or barriers to entry, while employers struggle to find qualified talent. The Healthcare Career Guidance Hub Initiative brings these pieces together—aligning education, training, supports for students, and employer needs in a way that creates real opportunity,” said Kristine Dudley, CCSNH Director of Workforce Development. “By expanding access to short-term credentials, increasing capacity in academic programs, strengthening apprenticeship models, and building clearer pathways from high school to employment, CCSNH is not only preparing more individuals for in-demand healthcare roles, but also helping ensure our rural communities have the skilled workforce they need to thrive.” The HCGH initiative addresses key workforce challenges, including limited awareness of diverse healthcare roles, unclear career pathways for entry-level workers, and mismatches between student demand and program capacity in high-interest fields. Through coordinated employer and student engagement, the hubs will expand career awareness, improve matching talent with jobs, and create clearer, more flexible pathways into healthcare careers — helping retain talent and reduce workforce shortages. Training will include both degree and short-term credential programs, many delivered through a new Paraprofessional Academy, in partnership with The University of New Hampshire’s mobile simulation units to bring critical training to rural areas. Over five years, CCSNH aims to double annual credential attainment to serve more than 1,200 students and expand capacity in high-demand fields such as Nursing, Allied Dental Health, and Paramedic Medicine. Under the direction of GO-NORTH and in collaboration with career and technical educational centers, healthcare providers, GO-NORTH partners, and state agencies, CCSNH will strengthen career pathways and increase the number of qualified healthcare professionals serving communities across New Hampshire. This project is supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $6,730,219 with 100% funded by CMS/HHS. The contents are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor an endorsement, by CMS/HHS, or the U.S. government. #### The Impacts of Pre-Apprenticeship Programs Following the positive impact of the ApprenticeshipNH program to Granite State businesses and the hundreds of employees that benefitted from the education and training they received, the program was expanded in 2020 to launch a new initiative designed specifically for high school students so they too can “earn while they learn.” Run by the Community College System of NH (CCSNH) and developed with industry input, the ApprenticeshipNH High School program (ApprenticeshipNH-HS) aligns with the goals and structure of ApprenticeshipNH and builds off past success and expertise of the original program, which launched in 2017. The high school program follows a pre-apprenticeship to Registered Apprenticeship model and can begin as early as 10th grade. As students progress through their pre-apprenticeship educational programming, they are introduced to potential careers and learn the skills necessary to prepare them for successful completion of a Registered Apprenticeship later on. A pre-apprenticeship program, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, is: “…a program or set of strategies that is designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship Program.” With a focus on providing students with a hands-on learning experience, these programs are employer-driven and pair structured on-the-job learning with classroom education to yield a national industry certificate while earning progressively higher wages. The pathway from pre-apprenticeship to Registered Apprenticeship can begin with students as early as 10th grade. These students may be enrolled in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program, a dual enrollment course through one of the seven NH community colleges or even take part in classes designed with pre-apprenticeship and career exploration in mind. As student-apprentices advance through their educational programming, the sponsoring employer of a Registered Apprenticeship will identify the applicable academic activities of the student’s pre-apprenticeship. With flexibility in timing being a key component of the high school initiative, the program is designed to accommodate the student’s schedule by focusing on related instruction while a student participates in on-the-job learning during school breaks, after school and even during the school day when the student’s schedule allows. Students are then able to enter a Registered Apprenticeship while in the process of finishing 12th grade or immediately upon graduation. This unique approach enables students to align their part-time job with future career goals, learn the top skills that industries are looking for and begin a meaningful career with little to no student debt. The role of the ApprenticeshipNH-HS team is to serve as an intermediary for schools and businesses by connecting the Registered Apprenticeship program to the high school curriculum and providing technical assistance for the development of the pre-apprenticeship. Coordinating efforts between the school, business and U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the ApprenticeshipNH-HS team helps to build a mutually beneficial education model. Additionally, the sponsoring employer will receive guidance throughout the process of registering their apprenticeship with the DOL. One such example of this collaborative partnership is geared towards students in southern New Hampshire with an interest in pursuing a career in HVAC, building trades, plumbing or any who are mechanically inclined. Designed specifically for high school seniors, students enroll in HVAC 101 at Manchester Community College and attend courses on Saturdays for a period of eight weeks while also engaging in work-based learning (WBL). Over the course of their WBL, the students will rotate through three separate HVAC companies to experience a mix of residential and commercial applications, with two to three consecutive days at each company. After the first semester of this program, students begin their spring semester with a paid internship at a company of their choosing. The internship schedule is designed to follow the WBL schedule and students engage in tasks that directly align with on-the-job training as outlined in the company’s Standards of Apprenticeship. The tasks are all appropriate for students under the age of 18 and are intended to be transferable skills related directly to their industry, such as: use and care of tools, safety and best practices loading and unloading of equipment   Upon completion of the student’s internship, they are then guaranteed an interview for open apprenticeship positions. ApprenticeshipNH-HS benefits not only student-apprentices participating in the program, but also the sponsoring employer. The Registered Apprenticeship is employer-driven and designed to help companies develop a pipeline of skilled, productive workers on the cutting edge of industry knowledge and best-practices. This is vitally important for careers in construction and infrastructure, as the pool of skilled tradespeople ensures companies are well-prepared to fill vacancies as they occur with an aging workforce and tight labor market. For schools, the program helps support a smooth transition from high school to post-secondary education or immediate career options with reliable future opportunities. The demand for these apprentices is expected to continue to be strong for many years. In New Hampshire there are projected to be over 500 job openings annually for Construction Laborers and as many as 160 annual openings for Construction Managers through 2028. Employers interested in developing an apprenticeship of their own may visit https://apprenticeshipnh.com/request-info/for-employers/ to get started. Don’t forget to register for the National Apprenticeship Week celebration this Friday, November 19th from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. #### Valley Regional Hospital Launches NH’s First LNA Registered Apprenticeship for HS Students CLAREMONT, NH – Valley Regional Hospital, a member of Dartmouth Health, in collaboration with River Valley Community College (RVCC) and ApprenticeshipNH, developed and successfully launched New Hampshire’s first licensed nursing assistant (LNA) registered apprenticeship program for high school students, ages 16-18. The inaugural class of eight high school students dedicated their summer break to learning and developing foundational healthcare career skills and core professional competencies required for successful employment. “We are the communities we serve, and it’s Valley Regional’s mission to improve community health, patient experience and value,” said Lyndsy McIntyre, MSN, RN, MBA, chief nursing officer and vice president of operations at Valley Regional Hospital. “By stabilizing and growing our workforce, we can ensure ongoing access to high-quality patient care within our own backyard while equally introducing the next generation to fulfilling careers within their community.” Applicants participated in a robust selection process, and the selected individuals were hired as Valley Regional employees. The apprenticeship included multiple teaching models, including classroom work, clinical lab simulation hosted by RVCC, and clinical rotations at Valley Regional. The 8-week program culminated with a licensing exam with a 100% successful pass rate for all students.  “My LNA apprenticeship has created a positive benefit for my future goals because it has created a solid foundation of patient care and how to work in a hospital setting,” said Brianne Robertson, LNA student apprentice. “I have so many good things I could say, but overall, this program was great,” said Cara Bouchard, LNA student apprentice. “I knew I wanted to get into healthcare, and this program helped me tremendously and made me so excited for the future.” According to the New Hampshire Healthcare Workforce Coalition, by 2030, almost one-third of Granite Staters will be over the age of 65, and a large part of this population will require long-term services and supports at some point, either at home, an institution or community-based setting. “ApprenticeshipNH is pleased to partner with Valley Regional Hospital, RVCC, and area high schools to provide an important and essential healthcare career pathway in the Sugar River Valley region of New Hampshire,” said Mary Ann Gaschnig, high school developer at ApprenticeshipNH. “We look forward to our continued collaboration in providing workforce development opportunities in healthcare and other industry sectors.” There is currently grant funding for a variety of healthcare career paths.

This cohort of CCMA trainees launched in late 2020 and graduate ready to fill the need for skilled healthcare workers at Coos County Family Health Services (CCFHS) and Androscoggin Valley Hospital (AVH). “The CCMA training program at WMCC is a well-established, nationally recognized program that prepares students to meet the growing need for specially trained healthcare professionals throughout the state,” said Coordinator of Workforce Development and Community Education at WMCC, Tamara Roberge. “These individuals have successfully demonstrated their proficiency in a spectrum of administrative and clinical competencies and we’re honored to recognize them through our pinning ceremony.” Each CCMA graduate received a certificate of completion and a CCMA pin during the ceremony.  Graduates will receive additional training on-site by their employers.  After completing another 3,600 hours of paid training, each will receive a certificate from the New Hampshire Department of Labor documenting their expertise and classroom experience. “Not only were my classes paid for, but since the classes were small, I was able to ask for what I needed and do clinical work while still learning,” said Hollie MacLean, one of the CCMA training program graduates employed at CCFHS. “I can’t say enough good things about this training program.” The CCMA training program was created in partnership with ApprenticeshipNH, a grant-funded initiative run by the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) to help address workforce needs in the state by developing apprenticeship programs with local businesses. The program included 420 hours of paid classroom and lab instruction at WMCC’s Berlin campus, along with a 160-hour practicum. Students received hands-on training at their worksite and also completed a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) Certification. To learn more about the MA training program, contact Tamara Roberge at 603-342-3062, troberge@ccsnh.edu or visit wmcc.edu.   Photo caption: White Mountains Community College students from left to right: Hollie MacLean, Taylor Marcou, Andrea Sanschagrin (the three are employed at CCFHS), Angela McDonough, and Natalie Purrington (both employed at AVH). #### Why Companies Need to Embrace Cybersecurity Positions Registered Apprentice model encouraged to fill in-demand jobs By Anne Banks and Peter La Monica   As one of New Hampshire’s fastest-growing employment sectors, information technology, or IT, is an essential field that involves using computers to store, share, secure, analyze or transmit information or data. IT has become the lifeblood of nearly every organization and is how employees communicate, solve problems and manage daily operations. IT is also prevalent in many aspects of everyday life due to the proliferation of technology tools: from credit cards and banking to booking a restaurant reservation or posting on social media. The innovations that make a difference in the world such as improvements in medicine, transportation and education all rely on the fast-paced world of technological advancements. With technology intertwined in all that we do, the industry is booming and growing at rapid rates. IT jobs are no longer only for traditional tech companies. Almost every company has been obliged to embrace technology and virtually every industry now has technology-based occupations or outsourced tech support. With email, spreadsheets, presentations, project management applications and networks being a staple for nearly every business, so are IT support roles. There are several dozen IT occupations in existence, but currently, cybersecurity roles are the most in demand. In today’s digitally driven world, the reliance on data and an increase in sophisticated security attacks and threats force cybersecurity into a role as necessary as human resources. For many companies, business and customer data is the most valued possession, and as is with other valued possessions, protecting it is crucial. Not having access to some level of cybersecurity expertise such as a dedicated role, an employee skill, or a consultant or outside firm is no longer an option for companies. According to CNN, there are 700,000 unfilled cybersecurity positions in the United States, a number that increased 40 percent in just a few months. Here in New Hampshire, the projected outlook for IT security positions is 16,300 through 2030. Cybersecurity positions also offer exceptional earning potential. The demand for cybersecurity jobs has gained a lot of attention recently including at the highest levels of government. The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), in partnership with the White House, U.S. Department of Commerce and other federal agencies, recently announced a 120-Day Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Sprint, to promote the Registered Apprenticeship model as a solution for numerous industries to develop and train a skilled and diverse cybersecurity workforce. This national campaign is designed to bring awareness to the massive need by encouraging employers to explore Registered Apprenticeship as a recruitment, training and retention strategy. As the only program in the state with a Cybersecurity Support Technician Registered Apprenticeship program, Manchester Community College is poised and ready to support this initiative through a partnership with ApprenticeshipNH, a workforce initiative of the Community College System of New Hampshire. ApprenticeshipNH has a history of assisting New Hampshire employers with Registered Apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships and programs with high school students as proven recruitment strategies. ApprenticeshipNH, in cooperation with the USDOL, Office of Apprenticeship, helps employers fill workforce gaps by creating a pipeline of skilled workers. Known as the “Earn As You Learn” model,” ApprenticeshipNH combines paid on-the-job training with classroom education. Participating employers have experienced increased productivity, boosted employee retention, improved company culture and ensured knowledge transfer when filling retiring positions with qualified, skilled workers. To begin a Cybersecurity Support Technician Registered Apprenticeship, employers can enter into a simple one-page agreement or attend ApprenticeshipNH’s information session on September 22 at Manchester Community College to learn about all the benefits and to get started. Individuals with an interest in technology or those in IT that want to enhance their skills are encouraged to discuss apprenticeships with their employers. The ApprenticeshipNH website also has much information on the program and how to get involved. Anne Banks is the High School Apprenticeship Grant Manager at ApprenticeshipNH and Peter La Monica is the Computer Science Department Chair at Manchester Community College. ### Resources #### “Fantastic, amazing” – Tecomet apprentices rave about experience Manufacturing apprentices tell us about their on-the-job training at Tecomet, Inc. DETAILS Apprentices: Linda Costin & Juan Aleman Location: Tecomet, Inc. in Manchester, NH Community College: Manchester Community College — Linda and Juan are two out of ten apprentices participating in the ApprenticeshipNH program at Tecomet Inc. They are Machine Operator apprentices at the Manchester, NH company and are working towards the completion of an apprenticeship that consists of 144 hours of classroom instruction through Manchester Community College and 2,000 hours of on-the-job training. Classroom instruction is a hybrid format with both online and in-person instruction offered onsite at Tecomet. The Tecomet apprentices recently sat down with us to tell us a bit more about what their apprenticeship experience has been like thus far. What made you decide to join the ApprenticeshipNH program? Linda: I thought it was a great opportunity for me to get some education. I’ve never really gone to school for anything like this before. Juan: It sounded like a great opportunity for me to move up in my career, and this seemed like a great way to do it. I want to learn along the way and develop new skills and be confident. What did you find to be most helpful during your apprenticeship experience? Linda: When the whole group gets together for in-person classes, that’s really helpful for me. My coworkers that are in the class with me are really helpful if I’m having a problem. Juan: I would agree that it’s a really great group. Most of the other people in the program I hadn’t talked to before, even though I might run into them every day. But now we are a really close group and talk with each other to see how things are going with the classes and the homework. I think in addition to the skills we’re developing in class it’s helped improve our social skills with our co-workers. I’m an introvert and participating in this program has helped me become an extrovert. Is there anything in particular that stands out? A favorite moment? Linda: My favorite moment was when I finally could understand some of the math – that felt really good. Juan: The math class was awesome. I really like math, and the teacher worked really well with the class and helped us really understand the material. What kinds of qualities do you think it takes to be successful in the ApprenticeshipNH program? Linda: You have to be dedicated. Before I started I didn’t realize how hard it was going to be. You have to study, and you have to want it. Juan: Dedication and focus are really important. You have to understand what you are doing and be willing to put in the extra hours for homework. My wife just had a baby and trying to deal with that and working and class on top of it, dedication is so important. Why did you choose this career path? What inspired you? Linda: When I got the job at Tecomet, I immediately liked it. I really like learning new things and I like working with materials like metal. I’m excited to learn how to operate some of the other equipment and machinery here. Juan: I thought that I wanted to be a maintenance mechanic and work my way up into another department, but once I started doing the metal fabrication I really liked it. I was inspired by another engineer here in my department who taught me a lot. What have you learned about yourself as Tecomet apprentices and what advice would you give to others? Linda: It’s really inspiring to be successful in the program – every time I complete and pass a test, I gain a little bit of confidence. Before starting the apprenticeship, I was really lacking confidence and this program has really helped me develop it. My advice to anyone considering an apprenticeship would be to do it, it’s really helped me a lot and it’s such a great program. Juan: I’ve learned how well I can balance a lot of things at once. I’ve never been the kind of person that does more than one thing at a time. I’ve achieved a new level of focus, and I’m more confident that I can handle it. My advice to others would be not to be afraid to challenge yourself. Even if something is hard and it takes a lot of time the payback will be worth it. If you could describe your experience in the ApprenticeshipNH program in one word, what would it be? Linda: Fantastic. Juan: Amazing. What’s the next career step for you upon completing the program? Linda: I’m hoping to move into a better position in machining. Right now I’m in an entry level position and by completing my apprenticeship I’ll be able to move up within the company. Juan: I’m thinking about going back to college and continuing my education. I’d like to become an engineer eventually, but my first step is just to learn as much as I can in this job. #### ABC NH/VT and NH Homebuilders Association Carpenter Apprenticeship ABC NH/VT and NH Homebuilders Association Carpenter Apprenticeship #### Alex Cramm follows his food passion at Omni Mount Washington Apprentice name: Alex Cramm Industry: Hospitality Town: Pelham, NH Place of employment: Omni Mount Washington Community college name: White Mountains Community College —   What made you decide to join the ApprenticeshipNH program? Both of my parents spent most of their careers in the hospitality industry which exposed me to the industry at a very young age and my passion for it started to build from there. One day while in Job Corps, a fellow classmate as well as Chef Zingales – the culinary instructor at NH Job Corps – mentioned the ApprenticeshipNH program – he had really great things to say about it and it caught my attention. At the same time, I met Chef Joe Madsia (from Omni Mount Washington), we hit it off and he shared that he was working on putting a team together for the ApprenticeshipNH program and that if I were interested, to go ahead and build a menu as a test. Growing up in New Hampshire, Omni Mount Washington was seen as the best of the best so of course, I decided to go for it. My menu included fresh pasta, fresh sourdough bread and fresh chicken parmesan. The next thing I knew, I was in! I was excited about starting the ApprenticeshipNH program because I knew it would give me a leg up. I would have over 6,000 hours of experience right out of the gate, and I’d have Omni Mount Washington on my resume.   What did you find to be most helpful during your apprenticeship experience? I started in May of 2018 and what’s been most helpful is the support and openness of our instructors and chefs. I can go right up to the executive chef at the hotel and that is pretty powerful. I am able to have a good working relationship with him and when he sees me very willing to learn, he gets excited about teaching me more. We have a strong support system, and this makes the program even more meaningful.   Is there anything in particular that stands out/ a favorite moment? Last fall, Chef Joe surprised us with a massive day-long field trip that included a visit to Jasper Hill Farm in Vermont. We received tours of the cheese cellars (there are seven large vaults in the ground for aging cheeses), learned about the cheese-making process and met the staff. We also went up to this beautiful room that overlooks the cellars and ended the tour sampling cheeses in the tasting room. It was incredible. We later headed to Ben and Jerry’s and also stopped over at the Cabot Creamery. We ended our day in Saint Johnsbury with dinner at Pica-Pica.   What kinds of qualities do you think it takes to be successful in the ApprenticeshipNH program? It all comes down to drive and wanting to be successful – a commitment to not want to give up, or back down. As the saying goes, if you can’t stand the heat, you need to get out of the kitchen! You need to be mentally tough. Everyone needs something to keep them going. What keeps me going is my passion and love for the industry, and of course my love of food.   Why did you choose this career path? What inspired you? My family was my biggest inspiration. From a very early age, my passion for food was awakened and as I grew up it continued to grow and flourish. Both of my parents introduced me to their hospitality colleagues, and chefs from around New England and these chefs too made an impact on me. Beyond this, what inspired me is my love for food and experimentation.   What have you learned about yourself as part of this program and what advice would you give to others? I learned that I have leadership potential. Actually, Chef Joe noticed first and brought it to my attention. I also learned that although I’ve been exposed to this industry my entire life and have learned a ton, I still have work to do, including sharpening my leadership skills and delegating when appropriate as well. My advice to others would be if you are having a bad day, tomorrow will most likely be better. Keep your head up, find what motivates you in the kitchen (or what applies to you) and work on keeping that in focus.   If you could describe your experience in the ApprenticeshipNH program in one word, what would it be? Inspiring. These two years have been the most inspiring and valuable in terms of the amount of information I have learned.   What’s the next career step for you upon completing the program? I plan on completing the ApprenticeshipNH program in May 2021 and from there I’d like to further my education by working on becoming a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM). The CDM exam is given to evaluate a candidate’s ability to successfully perform the responsibilities of a dietary manager. CDMs are skilled at managing foodservice operations and ensuring food safety. I’d also like to work on becoming a Certified Executive Chef, and later on, I would like to get certified as a Master Chef. Beyond furthering my education, I plan on staying with Omni Mount Washington for quite a while and perhaps, later on, transitioning into healthcare dining.   Finally, we are dying to know – what’s your favorite food? I love pasta! I have made my very own pasta and my own ramen as well. As far as cuisine food, I would say, Asian fusion is my favorite. My all-time favorite dessert is panna cotta, and then any kind of custard.   #### American Steel Fabricators Welder Fitter American Steel Fabricators Welder Fitter #### An open mind and hard work pays off for Cobham apprentices Manufacturing apprentices Meghan Savage and Kyle Tobin share their success stories DETAILS Apprentices: Meghan Savage and Kyle Tobin Location: Cobham in Exeter, NH Community College: Great Bay Community College — Meghan and Kyle are two out of thirteen apprentices participating in the ApprenticeshipNH program at Cobham.  They are precision assemblers at the Exeter-based company and are working towards the completion of an apprenticeship that consists of 228 hours of classroom instruction through Great Bay Community College and 3,000 hours of on-the-job training.  Classroom instruction takes place during the work-day and is taught onsite at Cobham’s facility. The Cobham apprentices recently sat down with us to tell us a bit more about what their apprenticeship experience has been like thus far. What made you decide to join the ApprenticeshipNH program? Meghan: I came to Cobham for an interview and a tour and got to learn to more about their apprenticeship program, and it sounded like a great opportunity. Kyle: Prior to joining the program, I had been out of work for about six months and out of school for about a year. I went to school to study Information Technology and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t a career path I saw myself pursuing. What made me most want to participate in the apprenticeship was that I’m familiar with Cobham; my father also works here. What have you found to be most helpful during your apprenticeship experience? Meghan: I think going back and forth between time in class and time training on-the-job was the most helpful for me. It gave me an opportunity to practice what I was learning in class in a real-world, hands-on environment. I was able to better understand the material that way. Kyle: The other people that I went through the apprenticeship program with were really helpful. If someone in the class didn’t quite grasp the content, the rest of the group was quick to help out. Is there anything in particular that stands out? A favorite moment? Meghan: My favorite part of the program has been spending time in class with my fellow apprentices, getting to learn together and interact with people from different departments in the company. It helped to broaden my relationships throughout the business. Kyle: When we completed the classroom instruction component of the apprenticeship, I thought it was really nice how much time and effort the company took into celebrating and recognizing us for completing it. What kinds of qualities do you think it takes to be successful in the ApprenticeshipNH program? Meghan: It’s really important that you be open-minded and keep encouraging yourself to work hard and gain as much information as you can from the program. Kyle: It takes perseverance. The first week I was here was really hard – the class seemed to be moving really fast and I didn’t think I was going to be able to keep up. Why did you choose this career path? What inspired you? Meghan: I’ve always been a very hands-on learner.  When I was in high school I did sign language for four years, and I also participated in the welding program. I realized that the trades are so important and that people are needed to work in those types of jobs. I thought this would be a really great opportunity to keep doing the same kind of hands-on work. Kyle: Both my father and grandfather worked in manufacturing, so I come from a long line of manufacturers and wanted to keep up that family history.

Meghan: I’ve always known that I don’t ask enough questions, and this program has helped me gain the confidence to do so. My advice to someone else would be to stay open-minded, and ask as many questions as you can. Kyle: I learned how adaptable I could be. I didn’t see myself as the kind of person who could deal with pressure, but going through this program I’ve learned to get better at it.  My advice would be to approach the opportunity with an open mind and ask yourself, “What have you go to lose?” You’ve got everything to gain, and nothing to lose. If you could describe your experience in the ApprenticeshipNH program in one word, what would it be? Meghan: Empowering. Kyle: Hope. What is on the horizon for you upon completing the program? Meghan: I would like to continue to strengthen my skills here at Cobham, and then see where that leads me. Kyle: I want to take what I’ve learned and continue to apply it to the best of my abilities here at the company. #### Andover Corporation Photonics Technician Andover Corporation Photonics Technician #### Apprentice Orientation File Type: PowerPoint Apprentice Orientation #### Apprentice Spotlight: MacKenzie, LRGHealthcare Apprentice Name: MacKenzie Bonner Industry: Healthcare Town: Moultonborough, NH Place of Employment: Lakes Region General Healthcare Community college name: Lakes Region Community College   — What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Did you have any ideas about career paths you would like to pursue? I was working as a Licensed Nursing Assistant at the hospital. I knew I wanted to stay in healthcare, but wanted an opportunity with a more consistent schedule.   How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? I remember seeing it posted on an internal job board. It immediately struck me because it sounded like an amazing opportunity. I was excited about the opportunity to get paid to go to school so that I wouldn’t have to miss out on receiving an income. It seemed like a good opportunity for upward mobility.   How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? The apprenticeship was about two and half years long, and I am now finished.  I am working at a doctor’s office in Belmont and still employed by LRGHealthcare. I’ve been working here for about three years and have built a good rapport with the people in my office.   What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? I feel like I’ve learned so much. I have gotten a chance to experience so many different things, and now that I am working it feels really rewarding to help patients.   What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? It helped me feel like I could get ahead without falling behind. I was able to further my education without having to stop working or lose my income.   How has this experience compared to other jobs you have had? It’s been great. I feel like I have had so much support, and I’ve been encouraged to keep going and try new things.  The company really encourages me to better myself.   How has this apprenticeship helped you with meeting your career goals/plans? It’s given me confidence. I tell myself: if I can do this, what else can I do? #### Apprentices say hands-on learning and mentorship key to success Manufacturing apprentices Justin Harradon and Alexander LoVecchio share their success stories DETAILS Apprentices: Justin Harradon and Alexander LoVecchio Location: Spraying Systems in Merrimack, NH Community College: Nashua Community College — Justin and Alexander are two of the three apprentices participating in the ApprenticeshipNH program at Spraying Systems in Merrimack.  They are CNC operator apprentices at the company and are working towards the completion of an apprenticeship that consists of 1,120 hours of classroom instruction through Nashua Community College (NCC) and 8,000 hours of on-the-job training.  Upon completion of the apprenticeship, participants will earn the Machine Tool Technology CNC Programming Certificate (40 credits) from the college. The Spraying Systems apprentices recently sat down with us to tell us a bit more about what their apprenticeship experience has been like thus far. What made you decide to join the ApprenticeshipNH program? Justin: I had already been working at Spraying Systems for about a year and half when Spraying Systems’ new apprenticeship program came about. As soon as I heard about it, I jumped on it – I knew it would be a great opportunity for me. Alexander: Before joining the program I was finding myself less interested in my field of study – I was going to college for something else. One of my hobbies has always been being handy and making things, and this seemed like the right path for me. What have you found to be most helpful during your apprenticeship experience? Justin: Aside from the classwork that I do at school, it’s mostly the on-the-job training that we do here at the company.  Having all the hands on experience and access to a mentor onsite who can help further guide our experience at college and at work has been really great. Alexander: Definitely the faculty at NCC.  They make the program easy to understand and have helped me to navigate some more confusing aspects of the program as well as the well-versed and experienced employees here at Spraying Systems. Is there anything in particular that stands out? A favorite moment? Justin:One of my favorite parts of the program has been learning new things about the field and the manufacturing industry. I also really like the rewarding parts of the job itself – making quality parts, and helping to achieve the goals of the company. Alexander: I really like days where I’m at work doing something and then I go home and do school work and find that what I’m studying and what I’m doing at work line up perfectly. It’s really nice to feel the two components of the apprenticeship working together. What kinds of qualities do you think it takes to be successful in the ApprenticeshipNH program? Justin: You need to have the drive and the desire to learn and make the achievement. You also have to be willing to be a committed employee as well. Alexander: Determination as well as self-motivation are important. I entered the program having had no previous work experience at Spraying Systems, so there was a steep learning curve and a lot of work to do up front coming in to the program. Why did you choose this career path? What inspired you? Justin: I have a friend who does similar work and suggested that I consider a career in manufacturing. The work is very hands-on and can require a lot of math which I’ve always enjoyed as well. Alexander: I chose to work in manufacturing because I find it rewarding to start with just tools and materials and in the end wind up having added value to a particular part. It’s a rewarding feeling to make good parts, and you feel like you’ve really accomplished something every day. What have you learned about yourself as apprentices and what advice would you give to others? Justin: I’ve learned that are lots of opportunities in this job to work as part of a team, but a lot of it is also working independently. My advice would be to be confident in yourself, and don’t always feel like you need to rely on somebody else for help. Alexander: I’ve learned a lot about how to be a good learner and a good student. In the workplace, learning is a lot different than it is in school.  Before this program I had done a handful of internships but here at Spraying Systems the shop floor has a very professional, production-oriented culture. Figuring out how to learn on-the-job from my co-workers without becoming intrusive or causing delays in workflow was a big learning experience for me. If you could describe your experience in the ApprenticeshipNH program in one word, what would it be? Justin: Rewarding. Alexander: Challenging.  Not because it’s hard, but because it takes effort and it feels rewarding. What is on the horizon for you upon completing the program? Justin: I’d like to keep advancing in the manufacturing field, possibly into a management position where I’d have more responsibility. Alexander: I’d like to continue with machining, and working in this industry. Later on down the road, I’d like to consider eventually knowing enough about the field that I could teach or be an instructor. #### Apprenticeship is Challenging, but “Life-Changing” Manufacturing apprentice shares his success story. DETAILS Apprentice: Tristan Chicoine Location: Wire Belt Company of America in Londonderry, NH Community College: Nashua Community College — Tristan is an apprentice participating in the ApprenticeshipNH program at Wire Belt in Londonderry.  He is a CNC operator apprentice at the company and is working towards the completion of an apprenticeship that consists of 527 hours of classroom instruction through Nashua Community College (NCC) plus two years of paid on-the-job training.  Upon completion of the apprenticeship, participants will have earned 20 credits toward the Precision Manufacturing CNC Operator Certificate at NCC. Tristan recently sat down with us to tell us a bit more about what their apprenticeship experience has been like thus far. What made you decide to join the ApprenticeshipNH program? Tristan: I decided to join the program because it seemed like a great opportunity for me. I was already enrolled in the Precision Manufacturing program at Nashua Community College and being an apprentice would allow me to get some financial help with paying for my education. I had also done an internship at Wire Belt when I was in high school, and since then have bounced around a lot between different manufacturing jobs. I have been hoping for a long time to find a career, and this really seemed like a great opportunity to get my foot in the door. What have you found to be most helpful during your apprenticeship experience? Tristan: The on-the-job training that I do at Wire Belt has given me an advantage in my classes at Nashua Community College, which I really like. I am one of a few people in the program who has machining experience which helps me stay ahead and allows me to help other people in the class. I also appreciate how everything I learn in class provides me with a new skillset that makes me that much faster and efficient when I’m working on-the-job. What kinds of qualities do you think it takes to be successful in the ApprenticeshipNH program? Tristan: Perseverance – you can get discouraged when it feels like it gets hard.  I don’t think people realize how much work goes into an apprenticeship. Why did you choose this career path? What inspired you? Tristan: When I was in high school I didn’t really know what I wanted to do after graduating.  My junior year of high school I was giving an opportunity to go to Manchester School of Technology; they presented a video to students with all the Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs they offered, and manufacturing stuck out to me as something that would be interesting. I learned a lot in my CTE classes, but I think it was such an amazing program because you get to learn real skills for a career that you might not get to learn in a regular high school class. One thing I really like about manufacturing is that there’s endless opportunities to learn – you can get a point where you think you know everything, but there are still new things to learn. What have you learned about yourself as apprentices and what advice would you give to others? Tristan: I learned to have a lot more determination than I did when I first started the program. I was skeptical and got discouraged easily, and now I still make mistakes, but I don’t make them as often. I learned to have more patience with myself – I might not be as fast as the other people who have been working in the industry for 40 years, but I’ll get there eventually. My advice to someone else would be to stay open-minded. There are so many opportunities out there and it might take a little while for you to figure out what you like. You should experiment, but when you find something that you are good at stick with it. If you could describe your experience in the ApprenticeshipNH program in one word, what would it be? Tristan: Amazing.  It’s been amazing to have been given this opportunity. The day that Dave from Wire Belt called me to offer me the job was life changing. #### Apprenticeship Spotlight: Cheryl, Littleton Regional Healthcare Apprentice Name: Cheryl Harris Industry: Healthcare Town: Chocorua, NH Place of Employment: Littleton Regional Healthcare Community college name: White Mountains Community College — What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Did you have any ideas about career paths you would like to pursue? Before becoming an apprentice, I worked as a police officer and served in the U.S. Navy Reserve. I had already worked in healthcare and knew that a career in this field would align well with that previous experience.   How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? I had just come back from active duty and saw information about the program listed at my local unemployment office.   How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? The apprenticeship was about two and half years long, and I am scheduled to complete in June 2021.   What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? I really enjoy the people that I work with – they are always so willing to help and answer my questions.  The patients that I interact with are also great. When they knew that I was new to the job they were very accommodating to me, as are the doctors that I work with in my practice.   What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? I think I have a different perspective than most because I’ve already worked in healthcare. But I’m 56 years old and I didn’t want to wait to go through a two-year program, I wanted something quick and easy that would allow me to start working right away. This is a very easy program to step into and gives you the opportunity to move forward and get an education with hands-on experience included.   Who has helped and support you during your training and education? My husband and my family – choosing to participate in this program has impacted them and the have stood by me the entire time. The first few weeks were really hard, and because it was a brand new program at the time there was a lot of adapting and challenges that we all had to overcome.   What do you think are some of the common misconceptions people have about apprenticeship?  People think you have to be a really good student and have really good study habits, but none of those things really come into play. The college is there to help you navigate and get through the training. #### Catholic Medical Center apprentices celebrate program milestone Medical assistant apprentices are recognized for completing classroom portion of the program. Catholic Medical Center (CMC) has celebrated the second cohort of eight medical assistant apprentices, who recently completed their medical assistant classroom training offered by Manchester Community College (MCC).  On Friday, April 5 apprentices were presented pins to recognize the completion of the classroom training, with family and friends, their instructors, and staff from CMC in attendance. Apprentices will continue to hone their skills through on-the-job training at a CMC physician practice. CMC’s registered apprenticeship program is made possible through a partnership with Manchester Community College (MCC) and ApprenticeshipNH. ApprenticeshipNH is a program housed at the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) which seeks to address workforce needs in specific sectors throughout the state by helping employers develop registered apprenticeships that combine classroom instruction and on‐the‐job training. About the program In response to a significant shortage of skilled healthcare workers, CMC first launched their Medical Assistant Apprenticeship Program in March of 2018.  Since then, CMC has worked with MCC and ApprenticeshipNH to successfully enrolled three cohorts in the program, helping to train and prepare over 20 individuals to begin a healthcare career with CMC.  The apprenticeship includes 480 hours of classroom instruction and 3,600 hours of on-the-job training. Upon completing of the classroom instruction, apprentices are prepared to sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam. “We are very proud to have this relationship with Manchester Community College and ApprenticeshipNH, and are very proud of all of you for graduating,” Merryll Rosenfeld, vice president of human resources as Catholic Medical Center, said to apprentices. “We are excited for you to get to work in our wonderful physician practices, and are anxious to see how you will continue your education and career with CMC in the future.” Apprenticeship programs help job-seekers begin meaningful careers Amy Quimpo is one of the individuals participating in the medical assistant apprenticeship, and prior to beginning the program had been a stay-at-home mom to eight children for 23 years.  After finding herself in a position where she needed a job to provide for her family, she applied to the program at CMC. “I wasn’t sure if this was something I could even do.  I hadn’t been an actual student myself for over 25 years,” said Quimpo, who will continue her career with CMC’s New England Heart Institute. “I was worried about possibly being the oldest student in the class, and even after starting the program, there were many days when I wondered if I was doing the right thing. But I have learned new things every day and have worked alongside healthcare professionals that are hard-working and compassionate.  I am very proud to stand here today and say that I did, and with lots of help, that I succeeded in finding a career for myself.” To learn more about the ApprenticeshipNH program, including additional apprenticeship and sponsorship opportunities, contact Emily Zeien at apprenticeshipusanh@ccsnh.edu #### Catholic Medical Center apprentices graduate to on-the-job training Eight graduates from the inaugural ApprenticeshipNH partnership with Catholic Medical Center (CMC) complete classroom portion of Medical Assistant program. The inaugural class of ApprenticeshipNH graduates receives pins to mark the completion of the classroom portion of their program. Second row, left to right: Instructor Karen Kobzik; Mary Anne Pruner; Emma Little; Alicia Savage; Sarah Leite; Vice President of Human Resources at CMC, Merryll Rosenfeld. Front row, left to right: Director of MCC Workforce Development Center, Kristine Dudley; Ashley Yergeau; Heather Almeida; Cameryn Marchand; Keith Hebert; Director of Human Resources at CMC, Susan Martinen; and Director of Organizational Development at CMC, Emily Gaudette. Eight apprentices have graduated from a Medical Assistant program through a partnership between Catholic Medical Center (CMC) and ApprenticeshipNH. On Friday, June 29 at Manchester Community College, graduates were presented with pins to mark the completion of the classroom portion of the program before friends and family. “It represents the bridge from being a learner to becoming a professional,” said Karen Kobzik, one of the instructors of the program, about what the pin represents. Speaking to the graduates during the ceremony Kobzik added, “You have condensed material that we typically teach over a two-year time period into just three months. You now all have the wisdom to understand that you cannot be stagnant, you must continue learning, for your benefit, and the benefit of your patients.” About the program Earlier this year, CMC launched a new Medical Assistant registered apprenticeship program through a partnership with Manchester Community College (MCC) and the ApprenticeshipNH program. The program includes 480 hours of classroom instruction and 3,600 hours of on-the-job training. Upon completion of the program, apprentices are prepared to sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam. “It takes a village to do what you’ve done,” Kristine Dudley, director of the Workforce Development Center at MCC, said to the graduates about how the process is not a solo journey. “It takes a strong support system too. Many of you have done this while balancing a family and a social life.” About the Catholic Medical Center apprentices The graduating class of eight Catholic Medical Center apprentices is the inaugural class for the CMC registered apprenticeship program. Following the popularity and success of the program, the team at CMC plans to continue the program into the future and into new fields. “We have eight students who were chosen from a large pool of applicants, and we are all extremely, extremely proud,” said Merryll Rosenfeld, vice president of human resources at CMC. “I’m so proud of all of them for sticking with it and doing what they did. We see ourselves continuing this program, not only with the MA program but with LNAs as well.” Each of the eight apprentices who received pins have been placed in a position within the CMC network. They will fill those positions and continue to hone their skills through on-the-job training, using the knowledge they obtained throughout their academic course of study. “The program has pushed me to realize what I can accomplish. It has made me more confident, not only in my professional life and capabilities but in my personal life as well,” said Cameryn Marchand, one of the graduates who will continue her career with CMC’s Surgical Care Group in Manchester. “My favorite part of the program was probably being able to be put in real-life situations and not rely solely on a textbook. Being able to experience what I was learning hands-on, gave me such a deeper understanding of what I was doing. I am excited to start in my new role, and am incredibly grateful for the opportunity and experience this apprenticeship program has given me.” ApprenticeshipNH is growing!

Catholic Medical Center (CMC) has launched a new medical assistant registered apprenticeship program. The program is made possible through a partnership with Manchester Community College (MCC) and the ApprenticeshipNH program, which seeks to address workforce needs in various sectors throughout the state. The program accomplishes this with a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training. Eight apprentices will complete the inaugural program, which will prepare them to sit for their Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam. “The CMC apprenticeship program allows us to address the workforce challenges we face,” said Merryll Rosenfeld, vice president of human resources for Catholic Medical Center. “Healthcare recruiting has become more challenging, and the ApprenticeshipNH program creates a great new pathway to fill positions while offering career growth to the candidates. This new program enables CMC to build partnerships and develop new talent, customized to CMC’s standards and practices. By providing hands-on experience, apprentices can learn directly from healthcare professionals in a real-world environment, which is an invaluable experience.” How the program works The eight initial participants in the CMC apprenticeship program are a mixture of incumbent CMC employees and newly-hired employees. The program will start with 480 hours of classroom instruction, which will be completed over the course of one year at MCC. The classroom portion of the program is rigorous, comprising a full-time course load, Monday through Friday, and will include classroom time, lab hours, and a practicum which will occur at a CMC outpatient facility. “This apprenticeship program enables participants to deal with the rigors of working as a medical assistant throughout the course of their apprenticeship,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. The program is front-loaded. This means that apprentices must complete all of the classroom instruction hours at Manchester Community College prior to moving into their on-the-job training. “By requiring apprentices to complete the classroom portion first, we ensure that they have the education they need to succeed when it comes time to put their knowledge to the test in a real-life healthcare environment,” Zeien said. “By requiring participants to attend school full-time, they gain an understanding of the field and the job before completing any of their on-the-job training hours. This method ensures that apprentices are well-prepared and fully equipped to meet the needs of the medical assistant position.” The registered apprenticeship program at CMC also requires one year of on-the-job training, which equates to 3,600 hours of training. At that point, apprentices may sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam, the national certification exam for medical assistants. Throughout the course of the apprenticeship, participants will earn wages with incremental raises as the program progresses. During the 480-hour classroom portion, apprentices will earn a training wage: $10 per hour for the first 320 hours; and $11 per hour for the next 160 hours. Wages increase during the on-the-job training portion of the program to $12 per hour for the first 1,000 hours, and $13.50 per hour for the remaining 2,600 hours.

The hospital was also interested in a training and retention program, and a pathway that would open the doors for current employees who held positions in other departments – such as housekeeping – who aspired to transition into a healthcare-specific position that offered more connectivity to the patient. The role of ApprenticeshipNH: ApprenticeshipNH worked with CMC to create Registered Apprenticeship standards and served as the conduit and coordinator between the college that would provide the training – in this case, Manchester Community College – to build MA and LNA programs that would meet the hospital’s specific needs. ApprenticeshipNH assisted apprentices with scholarship grants and located employer-specific grants that would support dollars associated with implementing an MA and LNA Registered Apprenticeship program. ApprenticeshipNH also worked with the college instructors to ensure that training programs aligned to any specific needs or requirements CMC had for these positions. Programs implemented: Medical Assistant (MA) A 12-week program with 8 weeks of classroom instruction at Manchester Community College and 4 weeks of hands-on clinical work. Upon completion of the 12-week program, apprentices need 3,600 hours of on the job training at CMC to complete the program. Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) A 5-week program of classroom instruction followed by the required clinical work for licensure. Apprentices then complete 2,000 hours of on the job training at CMC. Total cohorts: MA – 3 cohorts LNA – 3 cohorts “Manchester Community College and the ApprenticeshipNH folks that we worked with closely have been absolutely amazing partners. They have been really collaborative with us, they have been really in tune to the needs that we have as a company, they listened to what our specific needs are for our employees, and we have really been able to customize the programs exactly to those needs,” said Emily Gaudette, director of organizational development at Catholic Medical Center. The numbers: The combined programs enrolled 47 apprentices. As of May 2020, 41 were employed at CMC – a retention rate of 87%. Of the 41, 22 are MAs and 19 are LNAs. Funding provided: Total grant dollars received for MA and LNA related instruction: $44,000* Supportive services to help offset the cost of books and supplies paid directly to apprentices: $4,500 What’s next: The creation of a surgical technician Registered Apprenticeship program. ROI: Finding, training and hiring LNAs and MAs is a significant challenge in New Hampshire and nationally. Being able to partner with ApprenticeshipNH to fill 41 positions with individuals that are trained specifically for their roles at CMC and with hands-on, on-site experience is a huge boost for the hospital. The 91% retention rate during the process proved that the upfront investment for instruction and training had a significant return on investment. *CMC is one of the largest apprenticeship sponsors in the State of New Hampshire #### Cobham Electronic Solutions apprentices recognized in Exeter Cobham Electronic Solutions apprentices and future precision assemblers recognized at Exeter, New Hampshire branch The Exeter branch of global technology and services innovator Cobham Electronic Solutions celebrated its inaugural class of apprentices at a recognition ceremony and luncheon on Thursday, March 28, 2019. The company develops products including microelectronics, motion control solutions and aviation services. The luncheon event was held to recognize the seven individuals have embarked on a unique pathway to advance themselves professionally. Seven apprentices, a mixture of new and incumbent employees, participated in the inaugural program. Cobham’s registered apprenticeship program is made possible through a partnership with Great Bay Community College (GBCC) and ApprenticeshipNH. ApprenticeshipNH is a program housed at the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). It seeks to address workforce needs in specific sectors throughout the state by helping employers develop Registered Apprenticeships that combine classroom instruction and on‐the‐job training. Apprenticeship program trains apprentices in high‐demand manufacturing careers The apprenticeship program began in July of 2018 and included more than 200 hours of non‐credit classroom instruction, provided by Great Bay Community College. The recognition ceremony on March 28 celebrated completion of the classroom instruction, while apprentices continue to work towards finishing the required 3,000 hours of on‐the‐job training. The seven Cobham apprentices are receiving training to become precision assemblers at the completion of the program. Matt Galvin is one of the individuals participating in the registered apprenticeship program, and as an apprentice, Galvin has the opportunity to practice what he learns in class while working on the production floor, with the support and guidance of an experienced mentor. “I’ve never had an opportunity like this. Thanks to this apprenticeship, I feel like I have a career, not just a job,” said Galvin of his experience as a member of the Cobham team. Cobham has successfully retained 100% of employees placed in the program Also in attendance at the event were staff and instructors from Great Bay Community College and representatives from ApprenticeshipNH. Cobham staff at the event, including senior leadership and apprentice mentors, collectively remarked on the accomplishments that apprentices have made over the course of the training. They commented on how the honoree’s new skills and knowledge have positively impacted operations for the company. “This program has really been a game-changer for Cobham,” said Al Hamwey, senior director of operations for Cobham while speaking to apprentices. “We are so impressed with how quickly our apprentices’ knowledge has grown, and we were delighted to celebrate them, their hard work and their accomplishments at our event.” Based on the tremendous success of the inaugural class, Cobham began a second apprenticeship cohort on March 26 of this year.

Industry leaders EPTAM Plastics and Freudenberg Sealing Technologies have partnered to offer employees at both companies the opportunity to participate in a component of the ApprenticeshipNH training program together, completing all on-site, hands-on instruction at EPTAM’s Northfield location. There, instructors – employed as adjunct faculty through Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) to teach Machine Tool Math – share their expertise while program participants earn while they learn and receive hands-on training. “This partnership empowers companies in industries where workforce shortages are most severe to share resources and upskill existing employees with the goal of promoting them to advanced positions,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. “EPTAM Plastics and Freudenberg Sealing Technologies are a great example of related companies being creative rather than competitive for the betterment of their employees, the regional economy, and New Hampshire’s advanced manufacturing sector as a whole.” The eight student participants from EPTAM and five from Freudenberg receive college credit from LRCC for completing the Machine Tool Math course through ApprenticeshipNH. The course is one of a half dozen that apprentices will participate in over the course of their apprenticeship. Because the program is designed for apprentices to earn while they learn, they’ll also receive their regular paychecks for time spent in on-the-job training, along with planned wage increases as they progress through the three-year program. Admission into the ApprenticeshipNH program at Freudenberg was highly selective, with more than 30 applicants for the five spots. The differing specific needs of each company makes collaboration more attainable, especially in a tight job market where New Hampshire’s unemployment rate remains low. Apprentices learn fundamental approaches in math and engineering together, but apply them differently when they return to the shop floor. Freudenberg is a global manufacturer of sealing products ranging from customized individual solutions like gaskets and hydraulic seals, to sealing components for electric vehicles, such as membranes, high-precision molded parts, and other products for the automotive, aviation, engineering, and shipbuilding sectors, as well as others. EPTAM is a full-service precision machining company that manufactures plastics and other components for medical devices, semiconductors, aerospace, and emerging industries such as oil and gas. Because EPTAM and Freudenberg apply their employees’ skills in different ways, the learning environment is a positive and collaborative one which builds loyalty within the industry and within each company. And, according to participants in the program now, learning with individuals from another company makes pursuing professional development less intimidating. The fact that Lakes Region Community College brings the program on-site at or convenient location near their place of employment removes other barriers for participants such as investments in travel and time.

That company is Freudenberg Sealing Technologies of Bristol. Freudenberg is a specialized advanced manufacturing company and has launched a new partnership with Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) and ApprenticeshipNH. Operated through the Community College System of New Hampshire in Concord, ApprenticeshipNH addresses workforce needs through focused education and training programs in the information technology, advanced manufacturing and healthcare sectors. Through this partnership, apprentices will take credit-bearing courses at LRCC. As a result, new Registered Apprenticeship opportunities are created for Freudenberg employees to pursue advanced career pathways. “Freudenberg’s new partnership with ApprenticeshipNH and LRCC enables Freudenberg employees to explore new opportunities,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. “Demonstrating a dedication to employees by first offering apprenticeship opportunities to incumbent workers, the new partnership also equips the company with a pipeline of talent. Employees who participate in the program will move into higher-level positions that require more skills and earn more. This will open up entry-level opportunities for those who are starting or changing careers.” Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is a supplier, development and service partner for numerous market segments including automotive, mechanical engineering and agriculture. Freudenberg’s Registered Apprenticeship program trains apprentices to become maintenance repairers. The three-year program requires 688 hours of classroom instruction and 6,400 hours of on-the-job training. The classroom portion of the program will be completed first at Lakes Region Community College before apprentices transition to on-the-job training. “All of the apprentices in Freudenberg’s program will receive college credit from Lakes Region Community College for the majority of the courses they complete,” said Larissa Baia, Interim President at LRCC. “Partnering with local business to provide increased opportunities for New Hampshire residents is a point of pride for LRCC. We welcome the opportunity to help educate Freudenberg’s apprentices, and hope the partnership will continue long into the future.” Freudenberg apprentices will be paid a progressively increasing schedule of wages based on a percentage or dollar amount of the current hourly journey worker wage rate. During the first year of the program, apprentices will complete 2,133 hours at a pay rate of $16.00 per hour. The second year of the program includes 2,133 hours at a pay rate of $16.60 per hour, and the third year includes 2,134 hours at a rate of $17.20 per hour.

Jamie is an NH native and Dulce is originally from Mexico and has been in NH for the last 13 years. Both LNAs at LRGH, the two aspire to advance their careers in the healthcare field. Throughout the course of their MA apprenticeship, they will participate in 480 hours of classroom instruction plus 3,600 hours of on-the-job learning in a hands-on environment at one of LRGH’s medical facilities. Jamie and Dulce will be matched with one-on-one mentors who will work with them and support them as they attain new skills. They sat down with us to talk about the process so far. — ANH: Why did you apply and why do you want to become a medical assistant? Dulce: I always knew that I wanted to progress in my education and my goal was to become an RN. Once I found out what a medical assistant REALLY does, which is very similar to an RN, I just decided to give it a try. It sounded like a good opportunity so why not take advantage of it? So I went for it and here we are! Jamie: Same for me. I’ve been looking for an opportunity to progress in my career and I’ve been an LNA for a long time. I was a health unit coordinator for the last three years here at the hospital. I’ve been waiting for something to come up and I didn’t really know which direction I wanted to go, just that I wanted to be in the medical field. But once I heard about this opportunity, I just kind of knew. ANH: How will becoming an MA change things for you now and in the future? Jamie: I think it’s already changed things for me because I’m already thinking, what’s next? Now I have my hands on so much more than I did before. It’s given me so much more confidence. I’m excited – I can do anything, you know? It’s really pushed me upwards. Dulce: It kind of opened my eyes. The more I learned, the more I want to learn and see what’s next. ANH: What career are you working towards? Dulce: I always wanted to become an RN. Now as a medical assistant I sort of am. I have a bachelor’s degree already and there is a program for PAs (physician’s assistants), so I’m looking into that. That is kind of my long-term goal. If I can’t get to that soon enough then I will continue working until I become an APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse). ANH: What is the program like, and how is the transition from the classroom to on-the-job training going? Jamie: We did eight weeks of classwork over the summer, and then got placed in a MA position because they had openings. There was a need, so we trained and worked for the last four weeks as an apprentice. We had guidance, but I was basically working where I was needed. The apprenticeship went really, really well. I think everyone was on the same page about what was supposed to happen and what we were supposed to do. And I learned a lot. And so now, I’m going to be moving to a different office. I was at Belknap Family Health and now I will be going to Newfound Family Practice because they have a need for me there. Since I’m already a part of LRGH, I’ll skip the orientation and get right to work. Dulce: It was a little bit intense, but we all made it through so that was worth it for me. I was placed at Pulmonary [department], and since then I’ve been doing my clinical training between Pulmonary and Family Practice here at LRGH in the medical building. I’ve learned so much and I’ve done so many new things that I’ve never done in the past as an LNA. I’m having a great time and I can’t wait to be part of their team as an employee of the office! ANH: Do you feel like the medical assistant apprenticeship is helping you? Dulce: Absolutely. It has given me so much knowledge and has prepared me, and would prepare anybody, to become more. Jamie: I definitely agree. I never thought I wanted to be an RN. Now working as a medical assistant, I see how my job is so similar to an RN. My next step is getting my nursing license and then I was thinking about becoming a nurse practitioner. It will take me a little while, but that’s the long-term goal that I’m seeing right now. It’s really opened my eyes to not being stuck in that LNA position. ANH: What advice would you give to someone else who is considering participating in a program like this? Dulce: Go for it. Don’t even hesitate, just go for it, take the risk. It’s totally worth it. It’s not easy because it’s so crammed in, but in the end, it’s totally worth it and I would recommend it to anyone looking to move up. Jamie: I would absolutely recommend it too. It IS scary going into an eight-week program, but if you have an opportunity like this, you should take advantage of it. ANH: How do you think this experience has been different from becoming a Medical Assistant the traditional way? Jamie: I think it’s much more personal doing it this way. I feel valued – LRGH values me as an employee already, so it just kind of flowed right into the position, and it’s a nice feeling. I think it is much more comforting and it’s better than going to school and doing it separately. Dulce: Learning in an apprenticeship doesn’t give you any time to hesitate and question yourself whether you should keep going or not. You just go for it, and you get it done and it’s over with and you move on, I’m so happy that I did it. ANH: How did you get your start in healthcare? Dulce: Once I got married, I decided to become an LNA because of my mom. She has been an LNA for a long time and she was my inspiration for being able to help people who truly need you there, all the time. I just went for it, became an LNA, and I worked at two different nursing homes, per diem. I worked at the veteran’s home and the Pelham County Nursing Home for about three months before I got a job here at LRGH in the senior psychiatric services. I worked there for almost 5 years before I took the MA program Jamie: I grew up in Meredith and right out of high school I became an LNA at Lakes Region Community College where I just did the medical assistant program. I wanted to become an LNA because I wanted to help people. I worked at Meredith Bay Colony Club, an assisted living home. I worked there for three years with dementia patients before I came to the hospital. It was just something I’ve always wanted to do since I was in high school. — Dulce Boehme and Jamie Shedd are both incumbent employees of LRGHealthcare. Before starting this apprenticeship, they were both Licensed Nurse Assistants (LNAs) at the company. Jamie lives in Moultonborough and she’s worked at LRGH since August of 2014. She received her LNA certification from Lakes Region Community College in 2012, after graduating from Littleton High School. Dulce lives in Belmont and has been employed with LRGH since April of 2013. She is a graduate of Belmont High School and has a degree from Plymouth State University.

Hire Apprentices   #### General Business Presentation File type: PDF General Business Presentation #### Granite State Manufacturing partners with Nashua Community College and ApprenticeshipNH to offer employees opportunities Apprentices to receive classroom training at Nashua Community College and will be trained as CNC Operators More New Hampshire companies are finding value in upskilling their workforce through the ApprenticeshipNH program through NH’s community colleges. Granite State Manufacturing, a Manchester-based advanced manufacturer, recently partnered with Nashua Community College (NCC) and the Community College System of New Hampshire’s ApprenticeshipNH – a program that seeks to address workforce needs in various sectors throughout the state. The new partnership will enable Granite State Manufacturing employees to gain new skills through a combination of classroom experience and on-the-job training. The new partnership will provide opportunities for individuals to pursue more advanced, alternative career options. Granite State Manufacturing specializes in engineering, program management and production in the defense, medical, security and industrial markets. The new partnership will provide individuals with the opportunity to become CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machinists. In this new role, apprentices will work with computer-controlled machines that help to manufacture precision parts and assemblies. “Our new partnership with ApprenticeshipNH is an opportunity for us to provide our employees with the skills they need to advance in their careers,” said Hope Kelly, director of human resources at Granite State Manufacturing. “It is one of our main company objectives to access talented and skilled workers to fill the capacity for our growing business. As a government contractor, we are limited in the workforce we can hire from the outside. We are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to our employees, who we value so much, and to obtain both financial and consultative assistance to do so. We are dedicated to them and offering them access to an opportunity like this is just another way we can show our appreciation for all of their hard work.” The new Registered Apprenticeship program at Granite State Manufacturing will train the company’s existing employees to become CNC machinists. During the program, apprentices will take classes for credit at Nashua Community College. The program requires more than 500 hours of classroom instruction and, upon completion of the classroom portion of the program, apprentices will receive 20 credits towards a Machine Tool Technology CNC Programming Certificate and/or the Associate of Science degree in Precision Manufacturing. “All of the apprentices in this program will receive college credit that goes directly to the certificate or degree option they select,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. “Aside from offering advanced career options, this helps participants work towards receiving a certificate or a degree that can enable them to continue to build and advance in their careers.” The Registered Apprenticeship program at Granite State Manufacturing also requires two years of on-the-job training at the company. Apprentices will receive wages in a progressively increasing schedule based on the current hourly journey worker wage rate.

Lenna is a Certified Medical Assistant (MA), and Rebecca is a Medical Office Specialist (MOS). Prior to their apprenticeships, Lenna and Rebecca had no previous experience in patient/healthcare. Thanks to a partnership between Exeter Health Resources and Great Bay Community College’s Business and Training Center, Lenna and Rebecca were able to go back to school and learn new skills that would allow them to make career changes while earning wages and benefits from their new employer. Lenna’s MA apprenticeship consisted of 480 hours of classroom instruction and 3,600 hours of on-the-job training. Rebecca’s MOS apprenticeship consisted of 240 hours of classroom instruction and 2,000 hours of on-the-job training. Both apprentices participated in hands-on, interactive training that took place at their job site. Lenna and Rebecca had one-on-one mentors who worked with and supported them over the course of their apprenticeships as they learned new skills. Lenna and Rebecca recently sat down with us to talk about what their apprenticeship experience has meant to them. Here’s what they had to say. — ANH:  Why did you apply to the MA/MOS apprenticeship program at Core Physicians? Lenna: I always knew that I wanted to work with people. In healthcare, I knew I’d have the opportunity to do that more than I would in previous jobs. I had also read a lot about what Core Physicians does to give back to the community, and that really spoke to me as well. Rebecca: This was a completely different job for me – I had never worked in an office before, but I really felt like I needed a change. I knew this was something I wanted to do. ANH: What were you doing before you enrolled in the program? Without this apprenticeship, would you have considered pursuing a career in healthcare? Rebecca: Before I enrolled in the MOS program, I was working in another hospital in food service and catering. I had been doing that for about ten years, but I knew I really needed a change because there weren’t any growth opportunities for me in that job. If I hadn’t found this opportunity, I’d definitely still be at that job. It was really daunting and scary to think about starting a new career, and it was especially scary thinking about having to go back to school. I hadn’t been a student for a long time. I also have two children, so the thought of having to come home every night to do homework and study for tests was a lot. Exeter Health Resources paid for us to go to class, so that made the transition a lot easier. Lenna Sinclaire Bennett, one of the Core Physicians Apprentices Lenna: Before I became an MA, I was working in food processing for a manufacturing plant out of state. I started doing that when I was 19 years old. I didn’t go to college and I didn’t really have any education beyond high school. I honestly just kind of fell into the job because it was a good opportunity for me at the time. I know that without this apprenticeship, it definitely would have been more challenging for me to pursue a new career. Without the assistance from Great Bay Community College and Exeter Health Resources, I probably would have needed at least one or two other jobs which would have made it hard for me to focus and be successful. For them to take a chance on me and say that they were going to pay for me to go back to school really made all the difference. ANH: How will this new job help you meet any personal or professional goals you might have? Lenna: There are so many opportunities in healthcare and becoming an MA has set me up well for future jobs. I do everything from assisting with general surgery in the office to filing and taking care of paperwork, making appointments, etc. I feel like all of these duties could transfer well into other jobs in this office or in a hospital. ANH: What was the program like? How did the classroom instruction prepare you for the things you’d be learning and doing on-the-job? Rebecca: The program started with 12 weeks of classroom instruction at Great Bay Community College. The first six weeks, we spent learning about the medical office setting and what to expect when working with patients. The remaining six weeks were spent learning medical terminology. I feel like everything I learned in class helped me understand what I’d actually be doing in my job. Lenna: Before starting class, I went through the WorkReadyNH program which was a pre-requisite. Even though I’ve been working for a while, it’s been about six years since I started a new job. I know that the job market and employer expectations have changed since then, so it was nice to “freshen” up on some of the job readiness skills that are taught in the program. The MA classroom instruction was very rigorous and helped prepare me for my job and understand what the expectations were. I also did a four-week practicum in the office which really set me up for success as well. Now that I’ve completed the course and passed my Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam, I am a full-time employee at Core Physicians. ANH: What advice would you give to someone else who might be considering participating in a healthcare apprenticeship? Lenna: Don’t be afraid of the transition. No matter what your background or experience is, a new career is going to be a challenge. I tried to just focus on the end result. Reminding myself that I could make it through the three months of class with a well-paying job at the end made it so worth it. I love what I do now. It really turned out for the best. Rebecca: You should do it! My life has improved so much since beginning my apprenticeship. I met a lot of great people that I’m still in touch with. ANH: If you could describe this program and experience in one word or short sentence, what would you say? Lenna: Opportunity is there. This program reaffirmed my belief that you can actually have a job that you love, and you don’t have to just settle for what’s getting you by. Rebecca: This program was so exciting…it really felt like an adventure. Interested in becoming an apprentice?

The celebration was held on Friday, February 14 at the Hillsborough Country Nursing Home in Goffstown where they, alongside training provider Manchester Community College (MCC), awarded the six apprentices certificates of completion. The six apprentices include Aaron Weatherbee of Hampstead, Norma Richards, Mackenzie Pelkey and Kierstin Collanzo of Weare and Leslie Segura and Prisca Mongi of Manchester. By completing the program, they will be eligible to advance their careers at the nursing home and increase their earnings potential, pending passing  the required licensing exam. Hillsborough’s LNA Registered Apprenticeship program is made possible through a partnership with Manchester Community College (MCC) and ApprenticeshipNH. ApprenticeshipNH is a program housed at the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) which works to address workforce needs in high-demand sectors throughout the state by helping employers develop Registered Apprenticeships that combine classroom instruction and on-the-job training. This LNA registered apprenticeship launched in January 2020 with six apprentices hired by the nursing home. The apprenticeship program requires 144 hours of coursework including in-class training and clinical rotations, provided by MCC. All six apprentices were recognized for completing this training are now prepared to sit for their NH Board of Nursing’s state licensing exam for nursing assistants the week of February 23. Upon obtaining their licenses, apprentices will go on to complete 2,000 hours of on-the-job training over the course of one year with the support of a mentor. David Ross, administrator for the Hillsborough County Nursing Home, attended the celebration, along with county commissioners. As one of a few employers in New Hampshire to develop an LNA registered apprenticeship, Hillsborough is making an investment in their healthcare workforce while also providing a career path in the industry to jobseekers. “We are proud of all that our apprentices have accomplished so far and are committed to their long-term success as they continue their apprenticeship journey,” said Ross of the company’s involvement in Registered Apprenticeship.

The initial cohort of 12 apprentices began the apprenticeship in April of 2019, which included front-loaded education at WMCC’s Berlin campus followed by a practicum and on-the-job training at the employer location. LRH participated in the program as a consortium of north country healthcare companies, including Weeks Medical Center and Androscoggin Valley Hospital. With assistance from ApprenticeshipNH, LRH was able to take advantage of funding available to employers hiring unemployed or low-income adults through the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA).  WIOA can help pay an apprentice’s training costs and/or reimburse an employer for wages paid during on-the-job training. Courtney recently sat down with us to tell us a bit more about what their apprenticeship experience has been like thus far, and how they’ve benefited from the funding resources and recruitment help provided to them by our program. How were you first introduced to funding sources like WIOA? CD: We had an initial meeting with representatives from the ApprenticeshipNH team and the WIOA Employment Counselor from the NH Works office here in Littleton.  They told us about the services available to us to help fund the program and from there it was a very easy process. Why did you pursue partnering with ApprenticeshipNH for recruitment? CD: In part because their ability to provide information was seamless, and it was a proven method – time and time again, the team has been able to help transition job-seekers into the workforce through apprenticeship. They were able to provide support and services to us and to apprentices that we weren’t able to provide ourselves. On top of that, they were so responsive whenever we had questions. How did the efforts of the ApprenticeshipNH team help make your recruitment efforts successful? CD: The ApprenticeshipNH team really went above and beyond what we could have done on our own to recruit apprentices.  From hosting info sessions/open houses were interested applicants could learn more about the program, to attending job and career fairs in the area, this was all done for us. The ApprenticeshipNH team recruited on our behalf to help us fill the open apprenticeship position we had, that we otherwise would have struggled to fill on our own.  We’ve been hiring for open medical assistant positions, with some staying unfilled for years. I can’t tell you how thankful we are to know that our patients will be well-served because we have met our staffing needs. Medical Assistant apprentices gathered at White Mountains Community College to receive their Medical Assisting pins and to celebrate the completion of classroom instruction. How many applicants did you get? What was the general quality of the applicants? Did you feel confident that you’d be able to fill the program with the interest you received? CD: We had 36 applicants apply, and of that group we ended up interviewing five who met all of the program requirements and criteria. The people that we interviewed were incredible – they had good resumes, but they also had great personalities. When you are working in a medical facility and dealing with people that are sick or aren’t feeling well, how you present yourself when interacting with a patient is so important. Considering the fact that they came to the interviews with little to no experience in the healthcare field, it was impressive to see how the candidates interacted with a room full of management-level staff interviewing them. We got the sense that they were excited and ready to learn and start this journey towards a new career. It feels really good to be confident that they will take good care of our patients, but it also feels good knowing that LRH has given these folks an opportunity to take this next step in their career. Typically, when we interview and screen candidates we’re always looking for a resume that indicates the person has past experience as an LNA or a medical assistant.  Because of the education and training components of the apprenticeship, when we interviewed candidates for this program that prior experience wasn’t necessary.  The candidates all had really diverse backgrounds and for most of them starting a career in healthcare was something very fresh and new. The passion that they demonstrated was what really left us feeling excited; the candidates were coming to us for a totally different reason. Yes, they wanted to be medical assistants but the circumstances that brought them to us are completely different than what we normally see when interviewing. For the apprentices this isn’t just a job, it’s a career. It was so refreshing to hear their perspective during the interview process. What advice or suggestions would you give to another employer considering apprenticeship and taking advantage of the recruitment assistance that ApprenticeshipNH can provide? CD: I don’t think it’s as cumbersome as most businesses think it is. Yes, there is some paperwork involved but the team really helps you through it and assists in completing what is required as best they can. The on-boarding and hiring process is the same as what you’d follow for regular employees. We are definitely learning as we go and there will be things along the way that will help to make things smoother the second time around. Through WIOA, three of the candidates that we hired had 100{e1d95cba5e3c1464f3b1727b0a23733b476d134f213bb9e60384f74837bec943} of their tuition paid for and as the employer we are just responsible for their wages which we’d be paying an employee anyways.  And even if we had hired a medical assistant coming from another facility, that new employee would still have learn all of our policies and procedures.  Either way we’d be spending some time training them. So, I really can’t think of a good reason not to do it. #### Littleton Regional Healthcare partnership with ApprenticeshipNH Creating a partnership: April 2019 The need: Littleton Regional Healthcare (LRH) was looking to add five medical assistants to their team. They had been recruiting for six months and were unable to find applicants. Medical assistants play a critical role at the hospital and the positions often serve as an entry point to a career in healthcare. The hospital was also interested in a training and retention program, and a pathway that would open the doors for current employees who held positions in other departments that had an interest in becoming a medical assistant. The role of ApprenticeshipNH: LRH turned to the ApprenticeshipNH program for help, knowing that the program had been successful recruiting and training medical assistants in other regions in New Hampshire. The ApprenticeshipNH team tapped partner organizations such as NHWorks, scheduled and promoted information sessions, open houses and made sure the positions were listed at job and career fairs. Through these efforts, 36 people applied for the five positions. Five were interviewed and selected to become medical assistant apprentices at LRH. ApprenticeshipNH helped develop the standards required for instruction and training with LRH and White Mountains Community College. They built a class of individuals across the region that were training to become medical assistants at LRH, Weeks Medical Center and Androscoggin Valley Hospital. Programs implemented: Medical Assistants A 12-week program with eight weeks of classroom instruction at White Mountains Community College and four weeks of hands-on clinical work. Upon completion of the 12-week program, apprentices need 3,600 hours of on the job training at LRH to complete the program. Total cohorts: Medical Assistants – One cohort of five. The cohort is in process. “The ApprenticeshipNH team really went above and beyond what we could have done on our own to recruit apprentices. The candidates all had really diverse backgrounds and for most of them, starting a career in healthcare was something very fresh and new. The passion that they demonstrated was what really left us feeling excited; the candidates were coming to us for a totally different reason. Yes, they wanted to be medical assistants but the circumstances that brought them to us are completely different than what we normally see when interviewing. For the apprentices this isn’t just a job, it’s a career. I can’t tell you how thankful we are to know that our patients will be well-served because we have met our staffing needs” said Courtney Daniels, project coordinator at Littleton Regional Hospital.  The numbers: Five apprentices completed the educational portion of the apprenticeship program and four apprentices are on track to complete their apprenticeship. Funding provided: Total cost for related instruction covered by a variety of workforce development programs is $21,800. Of this total, two apprentices received $1,000 scholarships each ($2,000 total) from the ApprenticeshipNH grant to offset related instruction. Three apprentices received training from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Program (WIOA) totaling $13,080. Support services, including mileage reimbursements paid to the apprentices totaled an additional $11,155. Since the ApprenticeshipNH team was successful in finding applicants, there were no extensive recruiting costs for Littleton Regional Healthcare. ROI: Filling five positions that had gone unfilled for a significant amount of time was a big win for Littleton Regional Hospital. New Hampshire’s North Country has significant workforce needs in healthcare and the model used by the ApprenticeshipNH program of “earn while you learn” enabled these individuals to be successfully recruited and enrolled in the training program while working.   Read more about the partnership from Courtney Daniels, a Physician Practices Operations & Project Coordinator for Littleton Regional Healthcare. #### LRGHealthcare Apprentices Key to Scaling NH Workforce Dulce Boehme and Jamie Shedd are current LRGHealthcare apprentices studying to become medical assistants (or MA). Jamie is an NH native and Dulce is originally from Mexico and has been in NH for the last 13 years. Both LNAs at LRGH, the two have aspirations to advance their careers in the healthcare field. We checked in with them to see how the process is going and the impact they hope to make in the future. — ANH: How did you first hear about this program? Jamie: There was an in-house email that said that they are trying out this new medical assistant apprenticeship program offered to LRGH employees only. Whoever wanted to be in this program was invited to a meeting. I think 15 people ended up signing up for interviews. We had to do an entrance interview to even get accepted into the program. 15 people got interviewed and then seven of us got in. Dulce: The psychiatrist from senior psych unit told me about it and told me that it sounded like a great opportunity. I went to the meeting and got an interview. ANH: Why did you apply and why do you want to become a medical assistant? Dulce: I always knew that I wanted to progress in my education and my goal was to become an RN. Once I found out what a medical assistant REALLY does, which is very similar to an RN, I just decided to give it a try. It sounded like a good opportunity so why not take advantage of it? So I went for it and here we are! Jamie: Same for me. I’ve been looking for an opportunity to progress in my career and I’ve been an LNA for a long time. I was a health unit coordinator for the last three years here at the hospital. I’ve been waiting for something to come up and I didn’t really know which direction I wanted to go, just that I wanted to be in the medical field. But once I heard about this opportunity, I just kind of knew. ANH: Do you feel like the medical assistant apprenticeship is helping you? Dulce: Absolutely. It has given me so much knowledge and has prepared me, and would prepare anybody, to become more. Jamie: I never thought I wanted to be an RN. Now working as a medical assistant, I see how my job is so similar to an RN. My next step is getting my nursing license and then I was thinking about becoming a nurse practitioner. It will take me a little while, but that’s the long-term goal that I’m seeing right now. It’s really opened my eyes to not being stuck in that LNA position. ANH: Why do you think LRG would offer a program like this? How does it help a company like them to offer a program like this? Jamie: I know that they offered it because they had a shortage of medical assistants and wanted to use their own employees. I think that was great because we are here for the long haul. Dulce: I think that having this program for LRGH is a huge benefit. They can always keep hiring people, but if they can take what they have already and make people even better, it’s a benefit for the whole company AND for us! ANH: What’s been your favorite part of the program so far? Jamie: My favorite part would be the actual apprenticeship. The hands-on part, getting in there and working with everybody, doctors side-by-side. Dulce: The clinical part; learning, working with the team in the offices. Both offices are great and they have been so helpful and understanding about the fact that I’m a new medical assistant. Even the providers take the time to just sit and teach me about what they do. It’s such a great feeling when you have a provider come into an office and sit with you for 45 minutes and tell you about the medications they prescribe and testing that they do. It’s such a great feeling. ANH: How do you think this experience has been different from becoming a medical assistant the traditional way? Jamie: I think it’s much more personal doing it this way. I feel valued – LRGH values me as an employee already, so it just kind of flowed right into the position, and it’s a nice feeling. I think it is much more comforting and it’s better than going to school and doing it separately. Dulce: Learning in an apprenticeship doesn’t give you any time to hesitate and question yourself whether you should keep going or not. You just go for it, and you get it done and it’s over with and you move on, I’m so happy that I did it. — Dulce Boehme and Jamie Shedd are both incumbent employees of LRGHealthcare. Before starting this apprenticeship, they were both Licensed Nurse Assistants (LNAs) at the company. Throughout the course of their MA apprenticeship, they will participate in 480 hours of classroom instruction plus 3,600 hours of on-the-job learning in a hands-on environment at one of LRGH’s medical facilities. Jamie and Dulce will be matched with one-on-one mentors who will work with them and support them as they attain new skills. Jamie lives in Moultonborough and she’s worked at LRGH since August of 2014. She received her LNA certification from Lakes Region Community College in 2012, after graduating from Littleton High School. Dulce lives in Belmont and has been employed with LRGH since April of 2013. She is a graduate of Belmont High School and has a degree from Plymouth State University. #### Maintenance technician apprenticeship is a win-win for everyone Freudenberg apprenticeship helps keep company on the front line of new technologies and advancements in manufacturing machinery, while also helping employees advance in their career.   Doug Hoisington is a Maintenance Technician Apprentice at Freudenberg-Nok’s Bristol plant. Doug has been with Freudenberg for an amazing 23 years and is participating in the program alongside four of his coworkers. Freudenberg worked with Lakes Region Community College to develop the apprenticeship program, which consists of 688 hours of classroom instruction and 6,400 hours of on-the-job training. Upon completion of his apprenticeship, Doug will have earned 25 college credits from LRCC which can be applied to a degree program at the college should Doug wish to continue his education upon completion of his apprenticeship. Doug and his supervisors Rene and Dave recently sat down with us and Karen, HR Director at Freudenberg, to discuss what the experience has been like thus far. ANH: Doug, why did you want to be a part of this apprenticeship program? Doug: I wanted to have the chance to learn something new, and to have another challenge at work. Once I finish this program I’ll be working in Maintenance somewhere in the plant, as a millwright helping to build and maintain mill machinery. My previous job at Freudenberg was very routine, I’d do the same thing every day and in this new position, I’ll never really know what I might be working on. ANH: Dave and Rene, I know that the apprenticeship program is still very new, but what are you seeing as the initial changes in the apprentices’ understanding and ability on the job thanks to this program? Dave: When Rene and I first started the program, we had no idea how it was going to go. We knew we needed to do it and that it was worth investigating and trying out. So far, I’ve seen nothing but positive results. It has had a positive impact on not only the apprentices themselves but on others around them because the apprentices are helping to teach them. So not only are we training these apprentices to get them up to the technical level they need to be at to perform the job, but they are also re-educating the people that have been in the job forever why they are doing what they do. ANH: What have been some of the workforce challenges that Freudenberg has faced that prompted you to consider Registered Apprenticeship? Karen: The Maintenance Technician position is a very hard one to hire for. It can take us anywhere from three to six months to fill a position, and we just filled a position but the person isn’t really up to speed but it’s the best we’ve got. So, we really saw Registered Apprenticeship as an opportunity for us to stay competitive and provide the staffing that our company needed. The other side of it is that we have employees that want some sort of career path and have always wanted to work in Maintenance. They have the aptitude but didn’t have the training. It used to be that people could come into the department and do it without the training but with new technologies and advancements in machinery, our employees really need some training before we can hire them into that role. Apprenticeship was just kind of a win-win for both parties. ANH: Doug, what have the classes been like? Has it been challenging to balance work and class? Doug: Yeah, it’s been a bit of a challenge because I’m used to working 55 hours a week, and I’m still working that much but now 16 of those hours are spent in school. As far as the classes go, it’s been pretty good. I don’t think it’s been terribly difficult so far. ANH: Do you feel like you learn things in class and then you have the opportunity to see how it works on the job? Doug: Definitely, some of the things I see like learning about different directional control valves and then being able to come on the floor and look at them, and then understand what we’re talking about in class. ANH: If you had a coworker here who was thinking about or interested in an apprenticeship, what sort of advice would you give them? Doug: I’d say yes, if you want to be a Maintenance Technician and go to school it’s really good. I think it would be really good for the younger people here who can get through this program and then have a really great career for a long time. A lot of people don’t want to go back to school, but I was really looking forward to it. A lot of other people I know didn’t want to do this because they didn’t want it to take away from their work, or because they thought they could learn just as much taking the classes on their own. But really, I feel like I’m learning more because I’m out on the floor working with the other Technicians and actually working on equipment, fixing things. Rene: I think a lot of people are thinking in the short term, but Doug is thinking long-term. The further along that Doug gets through this program, he’ll be opening doors for himself and for the company. If somebody just goes to school they come into manufacturing very “green”, but Doug won’t. Doug has skin in the game. He’s here, he’s motivated, and he wants to do better. Doug has ownership over what he does, and he has pride in his work. That’s something that you can’t really teach. Interested in a Manufacturing Apprenticeship Program?

Industry: Healthcare College: White Mountains Community College — Q. How did you first hear about the medical assistant Registered Apprenticeship opportunity and what made you decide to apply? Amy: I first heard about the opportunity on social media and applied on a whim. I have been looking to change careers and this seemed like a good fit. It was a good way to go back to school and learn something new while getting paid for it, without having to pay tuition and start all over again. Prior to this, I was an emergency dispatcher for 16 years. Mark: I heard about the program through my wife who works with the instructor and thought I’d be a good fit. At the time, I was working at Northern Human Services and was actually up for a promotion, but I wasn’t sure if it was what I wanted to continue to do with my life. I took a couple of weeks to think about it and then decided to apply to the apprentice program. I was previously an LNA before working with Northern Human Services and had actually applied to AVH several times without success. But, through ApprenticeshipNH, I got a call back instantly and I am really glad I did.   Q. What did you find to be most helpful during your apprenticeship experience? Mark: I think I sat next to the smartest person in the room during the entire class and that probably helped! My fellow classmate Kristen had a lot more college experience and really excelled at the terminology. It was very helpful to have her next to me and help along the way. My other classmate Kelly was also very helpful with questions and looking things up to make sure we all understood. Amy: What really helped me was knowing there was assistance out there if I needed it. I knew I could ask Kelly (the college instructor) anytime I needed help. Also, the college offered their Student Assistance Center as a resource and that was very helpful. Mark: The college offered us every resource they had, which was very nice. Amy: It was nice knowing that I had these resources to fall back on because I hadn’t been to college since 1994. It was tough getting back into studying! Q. Anything in particular that stands out to you as a favorite moment in the program? Mark: I really enjoyed drawing blood – that was probably the most fun for me. Also, it was nice having an AVH employee come to our class and instruct us on lab draws, technical procedures and vitals – that was a huge help and a favorite moment. Amy: Our instructor came up with some really creative ways for us to review the material once we got toward the end of the course and were getting ready to study for our exam. We did a lot of different things to review which made it fun. Q. What kind of qualities do you think it takes to be successful in an apprenticeship program like this? Amy: Perseverance. You have to go into it realizing that for many weeks of your life this is going to be your number one priority and you have to be committed to putting in the work. Mark: Intelligence certainly doesn’t hurt! I think conscientiousness when it comes to being out of the classroom and on the job. It’s important to recognize your limitations, especially at first, and to learn as much as you can by reading! Q. Did what you learned in the classroom set you up well for the on the job training portion of the program? Mark: For the most part, yes. At the beginning of the job training portion, they worked us in very slowly as we focused on the patient and getting their vitals down perfectly. The next week, we would add one more step and the next week yet another. One we mastered one skill we’d be ready for the next. Amy: I agree with Mark. The process was very helpful. Q. Why did you choose this career path? What inspired you to choose something in healthcare? Mark: I wanted to go into medicine for some time. I was an LNA and a med-tech for 11 years, and I felt like I reached the max of what I could do with my MNA. I was in nursing school right before my wife got pregnant. During that time, I chose to stop taking classes and enter the workforce. I always said I’d like to go back because I enjoyed medicine and I think that I’m pretty good at it. When I saw this opportunity with ApprenticeshipNH and AVH, I decided to take it! Amy: I wanted to get back into healthcare. Before I was a dispatcher, I was a lab technician for eight years and that’s what my college degree is in. But I didn’t want to go back into healthcare in that capacity, so this was a very nice compromise. It was a great opportunity to get back into healthcare without the stress that comes with trying to get another degree. Q. What have you learned about yourself while participating in this program and what sort of advice would you give to someone who might be considering doing something like this? Mark: I learned that I have a lot more to learn! Every day I am working on something new and different and I have to figure out why it’s done a certain way, and the best way to do it. I learn something new every day. The advice I would give is to be patient with yourself. You will probably get overwhelmed from time to time, but this feeling will pass. Just keep going forward and doing the best you can. Amy: I would say to keep moving forward. Even when feeling overwhelmed, keep moving forward. Mark: The first week is definitely the overwhelming part. After that, you get into the rhythm. Amy: I would also add that you’re never too old to learn something new. At the age of 45, I was one of the older ones in the class. Take it from me, it’s never too late to start over! Q. What’s your next step in your career after you complete the program? Mark: I have another year to go in the program, so I haven’t thought that much about it. But I might look at where my life is at in a year and see if nursing school is a possibility. Amy: I see myself staying with this. I’m having a blast! Mark: It’s really fun! Amy: I get up every morning and I’m excited to go to work now. Q. Is there anything else you’d like to add? Amy: I would say depending on which apprenticeship you choose, it’s important to be prepared for the intense classroom portion. Remember, you can do it! Mark: Sure, it’s going to be a challenge but if you are up for it, you’ll make it. It’s that simple! You’ll have all of the information you need, and you just have to take the time to learn it.     #### MCC Cyber Security Support Technician MCC Cyber Security Support Technician #### MCC Network Support Specialist MCC Network Support Specialist #### MCC Tech Support Specialist MCC Tech Support Specialist #### McCallum’s Boat House Marine Service Technician McCallum’s Boat House Marine Service Technician #### Mentorship Training Work URL: https://canvas-prod.ccsnh.edu/courses/55383#new_tab #### National Apprenticeship Week Spotlight: Alex, Spraying Systems This apprentice interview is part of a series highlight apprentice success stories during National Apprenticeship Week 2020.  To read more about how CCSNH & ApprenticeshipNH are celebrating the week, please click here. Apprentice Name: Alexander LoVecchio Industry: Manufacturing Town: Merrimack, NH Place of Employment: Spraying Systems Community college name: Nashua Community College — What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Did you have any ideas about career paths you would like to pursue? I was going to school, majoring in general studies, and working a retail job. Because of the high cost of tuition, I was starting to look at apprenticeship programs as an option. I thought it would be a good way to avoid debt and have guaranteed employment.   How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? I came across the ApprenticeshipNH program via a Google search. I started inquiring about some of the open opportunities and Spraying Systems was one of the first companies that got back to me.  After learning more about the opportunity it seemed like a perfect fit for me and work that I was really interested in doing.   How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? The apprenticeship is 4 years long. I’ve been in the program since January 2019 and am going into my fourth semester at Nashua Community College, so I’m about halfway through the program.   What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? I really enjoy going to work and practicing the skills that I’m learning in school, and doing so in a real-world environment alongside people who are very experienced. The apprenticeship model helps me retain the information I learn in school, and helps to fill in the gaps in understanding. It feels almost like getting extra tutoring, but I’m getting paid for it!   What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? It has given me a good sense of what I want out of a career.  I have a better idea now of what I might want to do in terms of schooling and my profession. It’s been very confidence-inspiring, and it’s a reassuring feeling in spite of everything else going on in the world right now.   What do you think are some of the common misconceptions people have about apprenticeship? I think people might be concerned that you will always be treated differently than an employee who knows more.  That has not been the case for me; I get the same respect as everyone else working on the floor.   Taking classes at the college is a lot different than going to school for a degree. It doesn’t feel as daunting.  Also I think there are a lot of misconceptions about working in manufacturing – it isn’t like it used to be.  It is a very clean and safe way to make money, and it’s an excellent place to work. I have more fund here than I do anywhere else – I wake up and look forward to going to work.   How has this apprenticeship helped you with meeting your career goals? It has put me years ahead of other people that might have taken a more traditional approach to getting into a career.  It has helped me move up in the industry a lot faster than I ever thought possible, and has given me a sense of confidence. #### National Apprenticeship Week Spotlight: Chris, Cobham This apprentice interview is part of a series highlight apprentice success stories during National Apprenticeship Week 2020.  To read more about how CCSNH & ApprenticeshipNH are celebrating the week, please click here. Apprentice Name: Chris Umbreit Industry: Manufacturing Town: Exeter, NH Place of Employment: Cobham Community college name: Great Bay Community College — What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Did you have any ideas about career paths you would like to pursue? I moved to New Hampshire in 2006 and was working in the food manufacturing industry. In 2018 I was laid off and apprenticeship fell into my lap when I saw an advertisement for it at the NHWorks office in Portsmouth.   How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? I am over the age of 40 and had been working for the past 12 years in one industry. I didn’t feel like I was in a position where I could start my life over and move into a minimum wage/entry level job in a new field. I was looking for stability, a way to transfer some of my existing skill, and a job that would help me support my family.   How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? I completed my apprenticeship back in February – it took about two years including the training and education.   What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? The best part was getting the instruction on top of the hands-on learning, especially from people who had been in the industry for a long time and were very happy to share their knowledge with new employees. The classroom instruction was also great – I was worried that I was going to have to figure out how to go back to school on top of making a lot less money. But having instruction onsite and learning things that I could apply right away to help me advance in my career took a huge weight off my shoulders. I really was able to earn and learn.   What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? This program was a lifeline when I felt like I needed it the most. The support that I got from my mentors and from upper management at the company made me feel important and invested in. They knew it was more than just hiring someone off the street – if we succeeded, we could be the future of the company.   What do you think are some of the common misconceptions people have about apprenticeship? A lot of people going into it might think it’s the “old school” apprenticeship where you are working for someone who’s been doing it forever, and that it’s going to take a long time to finish and you won’t make any money.  But I think it’s really a way to get your foot in the door and to get a job that you’d otherwise have to go through a lot of training to get.  It really is a great way to get a jump start on your career. #### National Apprenticeship Week Spotlight: Jozimar, Tecomet This apprentice interview is part of a series highlight apprentice success stories during National Apprenticeship Week 2020.  To read more about how CCSNH & ApprenticeshipNH are celebrating the week, please click here. Apprentice Name: Jozimar Matimano Industry: Manufacturing Town: Manchester, NH Place of Employment: Tecomet, Inc. Community college name: Manchester Community College — What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Did you have any ideas about career paths you would like to pursue? I was a student at the New Hampshire Job Corps Center. I am an artist and a very hands-on person and I’ve always liked the idea of having a job where I could create something.   How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? The managers from Tecomet came and gave a presentation to my Job Corps class about their apprenticeship program. Manufacturing sounded interesting to me and like it would fit my interests and provide a good job opportunity for me.   How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? I am nearly finished my apprenticeship – I completed the classroom instruction back in August and am working now on getting my certificate of completion from the Office of Apprenticeship.   What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? The best part is that I’ve widened my scope and vision for what I can do in manufacturing. I have developed new skills, but I’ve also learned so much about different aspects of the manufacturing industry as well.   What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? It’s helped me a lot both academically and personally. I have been exposed to different departments within the company, I’ve learned a lot about the different machinery, and have an overall better understanding of how manufacturing companies work.   Who has helped and supportive you during your training and education? Everyone at Tecomet including human resources and manager have been very helpful.  My former counselor and teacher at Job Corps have checked in with me a lot to see how things are going.   What do you think are some of the common misconceptions people have about apprenticeship? People might think that the apprenticeship might take too long, or that it’s too hard or complicated.  It’s a lot more than just a training program that you do and the move on. My advice to others would be that if you get an opportunity like this, take it and try your best to stick with it.  It can be challenging and you may face some obstacles, but it will be worth it in the long run. #### National Apprenticeship Week Spotlight: Tessa, Tuckaway Tavern This apprentice interview is part of a series highlight apprentice success stories during National Apprenticeship Week 2020.  To read more about how CCSNH & ApprenticeshipNH are celebrating the week, please click here.   Apprentice Name: Tessa Thibodeau Industry: Hospitality Town: Raymond, NH Place of Employment: Tuckaway Tavern Community college name: Nashua Community College — What were you doing before you became an apprentice? Did you have any ideas about career paths you would like to pursue? Before becoming an apprentice, I was working at Tuckaway already. I had talked with some of the chefs about ways to advance in the industry and learned that hands-on experience was probably the most important thing. When I was a student at Pinkerton Academy I took culinary classes and I’ve worked in restaurants since I was 16. I probably would not have considered continuing my education if it had not been for the apprenticeship opportunity.   How did you hear about the apprenticeship opportunity and what made it seem like a good fit for you? I think the fact that it was something new really appealed to me, knowing that I’d be one of the first hospitality apprentices in the state.  Tuckaway is such a big restaurant so it felt good to be recognized and feel like I was being chosen for this opportunity.   How long is your apprenticeship, and how far along are you right now? The program is 3 years long and I am about a third of the way through. I am learning a ton – both through the hands-on practice I get at the restaurant plus the classes that I’m taking at the college.   What has been the best part of your experience as an apprentice so far? Going to school. I didn’t think I’d like it since I never really liked school when I was younger. I look forward to my culinary classes every week, and it really helps that the things I learn in class can be applied to my job.   What are some of the biggest ways you feel your apprenticeship has impacted you? It’s made me take my career more seriously. I feel a lot more confident that I’m moving in the right direction and thinking about where I want to be five years from now. I never really thought about that or planned for my future, but now I am.   Who has helped and supported you during your training and education? My mentor and supervisor Jen, who is the assistant executive chef at the Tuckaway. She’s been by my side since the start of the program and she always checks in with me to ask how things are going. She is eager for me to learn and is also teaching me a ton. #### New Apprenticeship Program With EPTAM Plastics and Lakes Region CC EPTAM Plastics Apprentices to be Trained as CNC Machinists at Lakes Region Community College Local companies are taking advantage of a program that enables employees to gain new skills through on-the-job training and classroom experience. Northfield, New Hampshire-based EPTAM Plastics recently partnered with Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) and the Community College System of New Hampshire’s ApprenticeshipNH. The partnership will create Registered Apprenticeship opportunities for individuals to pursue more advanced, alternative career options. The high-precision plastic machining and advanced manufacturing company targets demanding applications. The partnership with ApprenticeshipNH and LRCC will provide individuals with the opportunity to be trained as CNC machinists. “This new partnership with EPTAM Plastics, ApprenticeshipNH and LRCC are helping address EPTAM’s current workforce shortage. EPTAM is first offering the opportunity to its current employees, demonstrating a dedication to its existing workforce to move into higher level positions. As a result, this will create new opportunities for individuals to fill the resulting vacant positions,” said Emily Zeien, grant manager for ApprenticeshipNH. The program includes a required 296 hours of classroom instruction. The training will be completed at EPTAM facilities and taught by EPTAM employees who have been hired as adjunct faculty at Lakes Region Community College. The program also includes 3,000 hours of on-the-job training. “All of the EPTAM employees in this program will be eligible to receive college credit that is transferable towards a Certificate in Advanced Manufacturing at Lakes Region Community College,” said Larissa Baia, interim president at Lakes Region Community College. “The college is proud to be able to partner with area employers to provide a viable career and education pathway for NH residents.” Apprentices participating in the program will be paid a progressively increasing schedule of wages. This increase is based on a percentage or dollar amount of the current hourly journey worker wage rate. Increasing schedule of wages: $12/hr for the first 1,000 hours $13/hr for the second 1,000 hours $14/hr for the third 1,000 hours Interested in learning more about this new partnership?

Karen is one of seven EPTAM employees enrolled in the program which consists of 296 hours of classroom instruction and 6,000 hours of on-the-job training. Classroom instruction is delivered on-site at EPTAM Plastics through Lakes Region Community College, and apprentices will receive credit from the college which is transferable toward a Certificate in Advanced Manufacturing. Karen recently sat down with us to discuss her apprenticeship experience to date. ANH: What has your apprenticeship experience been like thus far? Karen: I’m really enjoying the apprenticeship program. I’ve been with EPTAM Plastics for about a year, and I’ve always worked in manufacturing. I was a high school dropout and I went back to school a few years ago to get my GED. And then when I enrolled in this program I was really nervous about going back to school but I’m actually really enjoying it. The instructor is really great; he’s helpful and patient. First, we took a blueprint reading class which was taught by an EPTAM employee, and now we’re taking a math class which is being taught by an instructor from Lakes Region Community College. ANH: What do you like most about your job and about working at EPTAM? Karen: I love the “hands-on” part of my job, and the fact that every day is a little different. Especially here at EPTAM, I feel like every day I learn something new. The people here are great; I feel like I always have a lot of questions, but I always get good answers. I’ve never worked anywhere where the company lets you work and train, and try new things. Other companies show you how to do one thing and then you end up getting stuck. So knowing that they take people who don’t have any machining experience and are willing to train them, I think that’s great. ANH: Has it been challenging balancing work and class? Karen: I thought it was going to be, but it’s really not. The first day of math I had a hard time with the homework because I waited until the last minute, but now as soon as I get out of class I’ll go home that night and work on some of the questions. I think we all had to learn to balance everything out. ANH: Part of the model of apprenticeship is that you learn things in class, and then you have the opportunity to apply them and practice them on-the-job. Do you feel like what you’re learning in class relates well to what you are practicing on the production floor? Karen: I do. In the past, I’ve had very little experience with blueprints, and after taking that class I find myself on the floor taking out a blueprint and thinking to myself, oh ok I get that! I find that I have a better sense now of how things work. I still have a lot to learn but I have some more knowledge now which is nice. ANH: When EPTAM approached you with this opportunity, what were your initial thoughts? Karen: I was a little scared. I dropped out of high school and always kind of struggled through school, so I didn’t know if I could do it. But at the same time, I always like a challenge so there was no way I was going to say no. And I’m really glad that I did it. ANH: How do you believe that participating in this program will help you to advance your career goals? Karen: When I first started here I was a Finisher. A Finisher is responsible for taking the parts off the machine and cleaning up any sharp edges, removing any burrs on the part, and making sure they are all set before they go on to the next stage. And I approached my boss and asked him what it would take for me to become a Machine Operator. So I feel like this program will help me get there. This program will help me get to where I want to go more quickly. ANH: If someone else here at EPTAM were to approach you and say that they were thinking about doing this apprenticeship, what would you say? Karen: I’d say definitely! Go for it, what do you have to lose? You may struggle but every day you’ll be gaining something from it. That’s the way I looked at it – thinking about where I was before, and not really being a person who did well in school and this program has opened up my eyes a little bit more. And now I think maybe I will want to keep continuing my education after this. I think another one of the reasons why I never went back to school after finishing my GED was because I couldn’t afford it. I always had dead-end jobs. But with this opportunity, I think it would be crazy to say no. Interested in Apprenticeship in New Hampshire?

Androscoggin Valley Hospital, Weeks Medical Center, and Littleton Regional Healthcare have launched a new medical assistant registered apprenticeship program. The program is made possible through a partnership with White Mountains Community College (WMCC) and the ApprenticeshipNH program, which seeks to address workforce needs in various sectors throughout the state through a combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training. Twelve apprentices will complete the inaugural program, which will prepare them to sit for their Certified Clinical Medical Assistant exam. The twelve initial participants in the apprenticeship program are a mixture of incumbent and newly-hired employees whose jobs with the company begin with the program. The program will start with 480 hours of classroom instruction, which will be completed over the course of twelve weeks at WMCC’s Berlin campus. The classroom portion of the program is rigorous, comprising a full-time course load, Monday through Friday, and will include classroom time, lab hours, and a practicum which will occur at one of the outpatient facilities. Preparing apprentices for the demands of a healthcare career “This apprenticeship program enables participants to deal with the rigors of working as a medical assistant throughout the course of their apprenticeship,” said Charles Lloyd, president of White Mountains Community College. The program is front-loaded, which means that apprentices must complete all of the classroom instruction hours at White Mountains Community College prior to moving into their on-the-job training. “By requiring apprentices to complete the classroom portion first, we ensure that they have the education they need to succeed when it comes time to put their knowledge to the test in a real-life healthcare environment,” Lloyd said. “This method ensures that apprentices are well-prepared and fully equipped to meet the needs of the medical assistant position.” The registered apprenticeship program also requires 3,600 hours of on-the-job training, and throughout the course of the apprenticeship, participants will earn wages with incremental raises as the program progresses.

Our state has a diverse manufacturing industry that offers competitive jobs in fields from aerospace and defense to computers and electronics. As the industry flourishes, so too do the job opportunities that offer excellent starting salaries and the opportunity for career advancement. Enhancing these exceptional opportunities are the top-tier workforce training programs offered through New Hampshire’s community college system. Despite this bright future for the industry, manufacturers in New Hampshire are faced with the significant challenge of identifying the next generation of industry leaders as the largest percentage of our current workforce reaches retirement age. This is a challenge that we at Granite State Manufacturing (GSM) are working to solve. One of the best ways we’ve accomplished this has been to rely on the training model of Registered Apprenticeship. Over the past year, GSM has partnered with the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) to implement a Registered Apprenticeship program. This has helped us to upskill a cohort of incumbent employees in entry-level positions who will be more skilled, more qualified and a stronger asset to GSM once completing the apprenticeship. Apprenticeship solves workforce challenges Registered Apprenticeship, a program of the U.S. Department of Labor, combines classroom instruction and on-the-job training to apprentices. Because apprentices are employees of the company from day one, it is a wonderful opportunity for someone with limited experience or education to earn wages while learning the skills necessary to succeed in a skilled position. Thanks to federal apprenticeship grant funds available through the Community College System, our apprentices received some tuition assistance to help offset the cost of the training offered at Nashua Community College. While the Registered Apprenticeship has brought significant benefit to our employees, we anticipate that this effort will have a powerful impact on the long-term workforce needs at GSM. Because apprentices are matched with a mentor, the program helps contribute to intentional knowledge transfer that ensures that even when a significant percentage of our employees reach retirement age, we will have access to an internal pool of employees with the skills and knowledge we need. Looking ahead GSM, along with others in the manufacturing industry, have a tough battle before us if we hope to stay ahead of the projected demands for skilled workers in our state. Now more than ever, manufacturing companies need to invest in their most important asset: their people. Giving incumbent employees a pathway within the organization through a Registered Apprenticeship has been a proven way for GSM to ensure success for our business and to develop loyalty and commitment to the organization amongst our employees. Our experience working with the ApprenticeshipNH team, CCSNH and Nashua Community College also demonstrated to us that our state’s community colleges are a ready and willing partner in meeting the needs of industry in innovative ways. Hope Kelly, SPHR, SHRM-SCP is the Director of Human Resources at Granite State Manufacturing (GSM) in Manchester. GSM provides end-to-end manufacturing services that meet the demanding standards of the aerospace, defense, medical equipment and other industries. At GSM, Kelly works alongside senior management to retain a skilled workforce and leads efforts to create career pathways within the organization for GSM employees. She has years of experience in human resources, and is the current President of the Manchester Area Human Resources Association.

Senior Helpers of the Greater Seacoast worked with Great Bay Community College and AprenticeshipNH to develop a Home Health Aide apprenticeship consisting of 144 hours of classroom instruction and 2,000 hours of hands-on, on-the-job learning.  Darlene, Natasha, and Shannon were able to go back to school and learn new skills that would allow them to make a career change, all while earning wages and benefits from their new employer.  Over the course of their Senior Helpers apprenticeship, they will have access to a 1:1 mentor who can provide guidance and support as they learn. Overcoming significant barriers, these three apprentices have proven that apprenticeship is possible for anyone with the willingness to try their best. The apprentices recently sat down with us to talk about what their apprenticeship experience has meant to them. —– ANH:  Why did you apply to the HHA apprenticeship program at Senior Helpers? Darlene: I took advantage of this program because I wanted to start a new chapter in my life.  I have always enjoyed helping older people at my church.  I liked to visit them, bring them meals, drive them to appoints, etc. Knowing the difference I was making in their lives and forging close connections with others has given meaning to my life. Shannon: I applied because I needed a change in my life.  I wanted to get out of my comfort zone so I could start being successful, and I didn’t have many opportunities available to me.  I applied on a whim because it sounded too good to be true, and I’ve always wanted to work with the geriatric population for as long as I can remember. ANH: What were you doing before you enrolled? Natasha: Before starting this program, I worked at McDonald’s. But I knew I wanted to make a change. Shannon: Before starting my apprenticeship I was legally disabled to due anxiety and depression.  I wasn’t confident about finding a job because I had tried in the past but failed due to my anxiety Pictured: Natasha West, Darlene Gross, Diane Yocum, Shannon Frechette ANH: How will this new job help you meet any personal or professional goals you might have? Natasha: I want to work my way up to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN), and this apprenticeship program will help me get there. ANH: What has the program been like so far and what have you learned? Shannon: So far I’ve met a lot of wonderful people including everyone at ApprenticeshipNH, my employer, my teacher in the class at Great Bay, and my clients as well.  I have a mentor who is very nice and helpful and has provided me the opportunity to train with someone more experienced than me. Darlene: We’re learning things in class like basic client care, and also discussing how to apply what we learn to real-life situations.  Our instructor is really enthusiastic and imparts here wisdom for her real-life experience. Senior Helpers supports me with the minimal experience I have in the field and encourages me to learn new things as I go.  Because of this, I feel confident that I can be successful and I’m comfortable making mistakes knowing that I’ll learn from them. ANH: What advice would you give to someone else who might be considering participating in a healthcare apprenticeship? Natasha: If you want a stable career and help with the cost of paying for your education, I would advise you to consider the apprenticeship program! Shannon: Take this opportunity because it’s a really great one, and I have met nothing but kind, supportive people along the way.  I was very scared to reach out I the beginning, but I’m glad that I did because everyone has been absolutely wonderful and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. ANH: If you could describe this program and experience in one word or short sentence, what would you say? Darlene: Hopeful. Shannon: Success and support. Natasha: Helpful. #### Summer Session: Pre-Apprenticeship Models File Type: PowerPoint Summer Session: Pre-Apprenticeship Models #### US Food Diesel Mechanic Appendix A US Food Diesel Mechanic Appendix A ### Team Members #### Alexus Kalampalikis URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/alexus-kalampalikis/ #### Amy Obrien URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/amy-obrien/ #### Brianna Hayward URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/brianna-hayward/ #### Christopher Lalmond URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/christopher-lalmond/ #### Kristen Carlson URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/kristen-carlson/ #### Kristine Dudley URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/kristine-dudley/ #### Mary Ann Gaschnig URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/mary-ann-gaschnig-2/ #### Michael Piaseczny URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/michael-piaseczny/ #### Sarah Hils URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/sarah-hils/ #### Tracey Jackson URL: https://apprenticeshipnh.com/team-member/tracey-jackson/
