Modern Apprenticeships – Building Tomorrow’s Workforce Today
Apprenticeships aren’t what they used to be. They’re smarter, broader, and reshaping how employers attract and keep top talent. Whether you’re in manufacturing, tech, construction, or nonprofit management, the “earn while you learn” model is proving to be one of the most effective strategies for workforce growth and retention.
Join CareerSource Suncoast President/CEO Josh Matlock and a dynamic panel of local leaders including: Curt Celentano (PGT), Paul Sameit and Jodie Otteni (NCN Electric), and Rick Yocum (Humane Society of Manatee County), as they share real-world insights on how modern apprenticeships are delivering measurable return on investment (ROI) and building stronger, more loyal teams.
📅 Wednesday, November 12 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM

Discover how rethinking apprenticeships can strengthen your workforce, improve retention, and drive your bottom line.
