What we do
We coordinate a broad range of events, trainings, and social media campaigns to develop awareness about apprenticeship and our partners’ apprenticeship programs.
Program registration is only the first step. For your apprenticeship to thrive, you’ll need to implement, sustain, and enhance your program. We are available to provide technical assistance to ensure your program is successful.
Southeastern Pennsylvania has a robust ecosystem of apprenticeship partners. We are eager to connect your business with experienced local intermediaries, educational partners and more.
If your organization is thinking about registering an apprenticeship program, we will meet with you and support with the registration process.
We can provide you with an overview of available funding opportunities with an eye toward sustainable funding models.

Apprenticeship Navigators build, connect, and grow apprenticeship programs across the Commonwealth.
In 2019, the Keystone Development Partnership (KDP) created a new Registered Apprenticeship program to train workforce professionals to assist companies and organizations with developing, maintaining, and growing apprenticeship programs. Each Navigator completes a one-year apprenticeship program, learning apprenticeship best practices and tactical strategies around this workforce solution.
Upon completing the program, Navigators are members of the Keystone Apprenticeship Alliance, a statewide network of workforce intermediaries with the goal of expanding apprenticeships into new occupations and industries through partnerships with employers, unions, government agencies, educators, and community organizations.
ApprenticeshipPHL partners closely with the Keystone Development Partnership and proudly supports the Navigator program. To find out more information about KDP or how to become a navigator click here.
