Maryland Apprenticeship Ambassador Program - Office of Apprenticeship

Maryland Apprenticeship Ambassador

The Maryland Apprenticeship Ambassador Program launched in 2018 to raise awareness about registered apprenticeships and encourage job seekers and businesses to engage in apprenticeship opportunities. This program was reintroduced at the Maryland Apprenticeship Awards 2022 celebration. The Office of Apprenticeship selects Apprenticeship Ambassadors in recognition of their dedication to advancing apprenticeship as Maryland’s premiere workforce solution.

During the two-year term, Apprenticeship Ambassadors volunteer their time to cultivate and strengthen relationships with students, parents, educators, business owners, elected officials, and other stakeholders, to expand use of the apprenticeship model.

At the last Maryland Apprenticeship Awards celebration, the Office of Apprenticeship renewed the terms of several current Ambassadors and announced the appointment of new Ambassadors. The outstanding Maryland employers, sponsors, and partners who were recognized will continue to take a leadership role in expanding and diversifying apprenticeship in Maryland.

For their commitment, apprenticeship ambassadors receive special recognition from the Maryland Department of Labor, customized guidance on navigating the apprenticeship program, the latest in apprenticeship news and emerging trends, and valuable visibility.
