Unfilled high-tech jobs are an obstacle to profitability and productivity in the manufacturing industry. More and more organizations are establishing apprenticeship programs, in order to implement a sustainable workforce development strategy

Therefore, the Transatlantic Apprenticeship Dialogue was created to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience between Germans and Americans involved in apprenticeships. Developed by the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest (GACC Midwest), this is a new platform to enhance professional dialogue on a personal level.

This program is intended for company representatives, policy makers and educators who are involved or would like to become involved in the building, growing or improving of apprenticeship programs. This study trip to Germany will provide you with the opportunity to learn from your German Industry counterparts regarding best practices and implementation methods for apprenticeship programs while building lasting contacts and friendships abroad. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy through the European Recovery Program.

From December 6 – 10, 2021, GACC Midwest will travel Southern Germany with up to 15 selected experts from American companies, colleges and high schools, policy makers, and representatives from other institutions working closely with apprenticeship programs.\

On this trip, we will provide you with the opportunity to learn from your German counterparts regarding best practices for apprenticeships, while building lasting contacts and friendships abroad.
