As AI adoption accelerates across industries such as infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, cybersecurity, manufacturing, and IT, employers face growing challenges in building a workforce that can keep pace. Traditional training models often struggle to scale or deliver measurable outcomes.

This webinar explores how Registered Apprenticeship can help organizations build AI-enabled talent pipelines—combining scale, performance, and long-term workforce outcomes.

Drawing on ICF’s experience, panelists share how competency-based, earn-and-learn models are being applied to AI-related roles—and how employer-led approaches, performance-based incentives, and national intermediaries can help scale programs while maintaining accountability.

What you’ll learn:

  • How Registered Apprenticeship supports AI-enabled and emerging technical roles
  • Why performance-based incentives improve adoption, completion, and retention
  • How national intermediaries scale programs while maintaining quality and compliance
