Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year
One of the major challenges in manufacturing is recruitment and retention of skilled workers to support the needs of the industry. A key retention strategy is to recognize employees for their work and dedication. FloridaMakes now provides the means for all manufacturers with a registered apprenticeship program to elevate recognition of their apprentices through the FloridaMakes Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year Awards. Upskilling is the key to closing the skills gap, the statewide Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year will recognize apprentices who demonstrates a positive difference to their employer and an outstanding commitment to learn new skills to prepare for tomorrow's opportunities.

AWARD
The Award will go to entrants who demonstrate outstanding commitment to their professional development and who has gone above and beyond their normal duties and taken on additional responsibilities, which may include encouraging others to consider manufacturing as a career.
