"If you're a manufacturer, apprenticeship programs are one of the best ways to upskill, attract and retain manufacturing talent," said Marcelo Dossantos, Director of Workforce Development at FloridaMakes. "Brentyn, Carolyn and Krystle are great examples of the talent that comes to manufacturing through apprenticeships. I congratulate all three of them, as well as all of the nominees, for the hard work and dedication they've shown to their companies and the successful career path they are on."

Among the criteria for winning the award, nominees must demonstrate outstanding commitment to their professional development and show how they have made a positive difference to their company. Each apprentice and those nominated received a congratulatory letter from Governor DeSantis.
