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 2024 Summit was held November 20 and 21 in Jefferson City, MO. This two-day event included a business services representative bootcamp on Wednesday, and a series of informative panels, including national and state apprenticeship updates on Thursday.

See Governor Parson's 2024 Apprenticeship Week Proclamation.
