October 2019 Unemployment and Jobs Press Release 
November 19, 2019 |
|
| "Demographics continue to be Vermont's biggest challenge. This month's Jobs Report shows a continuation of the unprecedented low unemployment rate, prolonging the struggle for employers. Because of this, it is critical for the Department of Labor to engage with employers and jobseekers early to be able to link skill with need. One way we do this is through our State Registered Apprenticeship Program. There are currently more than 28 registered apprenticeship programs involving more than 350 employers in Vermont, and over the past year 2,000 apprentices were enrolled across a variety of these programs. If you are an employer with open positions, please consider one of our existing programs or creating your own registered apprenticeship program, and if you are looking for work, there is no better time than now to expand your skill base." |
Michael Harrington
Acting Labor Commissioner |
November is Registered Apprenticeship Month in Vermont and the Department of Labor is looking for partners to assist in advancing our workforce. Speak to someone directly by calling 888-807-7072 or email labor.vtjobs@vermont.gov for more information. |
