Apprenticeships
EO Apprenticeships are a proven, cost-effective way to build a skilled workforce. EO partners with employers, schools, and workforce systems to prepare young adults for in-demand careers in healthcare, skilled trades, technology, and more.
EO Apprenticeships offer a direct pathway to employment, allowing participants to earn while they learn and build credentials that lead to high-quality, family-sustaining jobs in their community. EO is an Intermediary partner with Virginia Works to provide Registered Apprenticeships in the region.
