More than 700 residents in Pierce County are currently employed via apprenticeships. With 86 different programs and providers, Pierce County apprenticeships represent nearly 200 different paid career pathways. Apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships offer unique and compelling pathways to quality jobs in our region.

While these offer valuable opportunities, more work is needed to ensure that these pathways are equally accessed by women and people of color, and even more is necessary to secure equitable outcomes.
