\u201cAt Stroud Safety, our family of employees are our most valuable resource,\u201d said Stroud Accounting Manager Daniel Meek. \u201cInvesting in this resource with long-term, sustained training is paramount to our success. The apprenticeship program is the logical next step in our evolution to increase our employees\u2019 skills, knowledge, and expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA registered apprenticeship program is a great way for Oklahoma manufacturers to create a workforce solution where they can take current employees or recruit students \u2013 young people as well as seasoned individuals \u2013 and give them a viable career path,\u201d said Dr. Sharon Harrison, OMA\u2019s Director of Workforce Development and Owner of Harrison Consulting Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn apprenticeship program is essentially a \u2018learn and earn\u2019 model that\u2019s been proven nationally to lead to better skills and 92-percent retention within the manufacturing industry,\u201d said Dave Rowland, President of the Manufacturing Alliance. \u201cWe need to find ways to create a consistent job pipeline. It is the industry\u2019s number one problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
