National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) is a national celebration where apprenticeship partners host events to highlight successes and the value of Registered Apprenticeships. Apprenticeship Missouri encourages all apprenticeship partners to celebrate by hosting their own events during this time and to register those events at apprenticeship.gov. Events can include: apprenticeship job fairs, apprentice graduations, apprenticeship signing days, industry roundtable events, and more.
The 2026 Apprenticeship Missouri Summit was held April 28 at the State Fair Community College campus in Sedalia, MO. This event featured engaging presentations on improving mentorship activities, key highlights of apprenticeship data and labor market information, and included a panel presentation on how Artificial Intelligence is shaping registered apprenticeship programs throughout the state.
