Virginia Works to Host Registered Apprenticeship Virtual Expo Connecting Sponsors and Jobseekers

RICHMOND, VA – Virginia Works, Virginia Career Works, and the Virginia Employment Commission are pleased to announce a dynamic virtual event designed to connect jobseekers with Registered Apprenticeship Sponsors in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The inaugural Registered Apprenticeship Expo will take place on April 30th from 10 am to 2 pm.

This initiative offers a valuable opportunity for employers to engage with prospective apprentices and highlight the benefits of Registered Apprenticeship as a proven strategy for workforce development. Participating sponsors will have the ability to staff a virtual “booth,” chat and conduct 1:1 video interviews with job seekers, deliver webinar-style presentations about their organizations, and directly follow up with interested candidates through their tracking systems.

Prior to the big day, sponsors will need to create job postings for their booth, select relevant categories for their booth in the virtual lobby, review registered jobseeker attendees, and set their availability for scheduled video meetings. Sponsors can also personalize their virtual booth so potential apprentices can more easily identify logos and branding.

Virginia Works is committed to supporting structured training and industry needs in the Commonwealth. Register here today! If you have any other questions, please email Hiring.Events@virginiaworks.sitevision.com.
