Apprenticeship Programs

An Apprenticeship program is a 1-6 year instructional program designed to develop highly-skilled employees. Drawing on over 40 years of experience in curriculum design and customized training, EDSI partners with companies to develop apprenticeship program solutions to meet each employer’s unique needs and situation.

Apprenticeship programs consist of a combination of on-the-job training and academic instruction. As an organization builds its own apprenticeship program, EDSI is able to provide technical expertise and turnkey development, administration and management services. We also work with companies and educators to validate existing curriculum and develop new curriculum in order to meet the requirements of the program and national training standards.

EDSI builds successful apprenticeship programs, both registered and non-registered, through a process of job task analysis, curriculum development and on-the-job training checklists. We also build the infrastructure for managing your apprenticeship program, including best practices for labor-management committees.

Our proven process, powered by our Skilldex system, minimizes the time and cost needed to identify and bridge skill and knowledge gaps within an organization.
