What is Apprenticeship?
|
Apprenticeships help restaurants expand the pipeline of qualified employees. Through the Restaurant Youth Registered Apprenticeship (RYRA), there are established pre-apprenticeship programs, such as ProStart and Restaurant Ready, to aid employers in identifying an apprentice, if needed. Funding is available to support the cost of apprentices attaining industry-based credentials like ServSafe®. Through established relationships, RYRA staff can provide a link to Louisiana’s technical and community college programs, and employers will receive support from the NRAEF with a training curriculum.
Beyond that, apprenticeship can be coupled with support services and local workforce development agencies for potential wage reimbursement (subject to local eligibility requirements). |
