Apprenticeships are the name of the game when it comes to workforce development across the US. At the German American Apprenticeship Conference last week, our panels brought together apprenticeship experts and apprentices themselves to discuss their experiences, best practices, and approaches for implementing apprenticeships.
The winner of the 2023 GACC Apprenticeship Award was also announced: Krones Inc., an ICATT Network Company located in Franklin, WI. The event concluded with a graduation ceremony for this year's ICATT cohort, who started their apprenticeship journey at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and went above and beyond to earn their degrees and credentials. Congratulations to Krones Inc. and the graduates!
Last week also kicked off the Christkindlmarket in Chicago with the "'Twas the Night Before Christkindlmarket" Preview Party, including Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. All three of our locations opened to the public on Friday, as well as our Chapter’s Denver Christkindlmarket. Take a moment and vote for our market in USA Today’s 10Best.
