SUCCESS STORIES

Alexis Taylor, Alliance of Indiana Rural Water

I knew that my training was paying off, and I soon became part of major projects to make the plant run better. I was becoming a crucial part of the team, and making the plant better really grew my confidence and my sense of pride in the type of operator I wanted to be. I was filled with happiness knowing that I was a major part of protecting the health of Big Blue River and all of the communities downstream.”
Justin Landon, Maintenance Manager, Lippert

"I began my tenure at Lippert as a basic maintenance technician, came through the door as the new guy. After going through the apprenticeship program and having that stamp of approval and some certifications for the job I was doing, and in about three years, I ended up running the department. I would say if you have the opportunity to do it, count the cost and do it. There's absolutely no downside to this.”
Alicia McKinley, Assistant Director, Cummins Child Development Center

"Participation in an apprenticeship is training that you're not going to get anywhere else, and it's so nice to be able to be in your classroom and still earning those hours and that level of knowledge that you're not going to get in an online class or sitting with a professor. When you're able to be hands on and you're able to go through that particular way of training, I think it's great and I would highly recommend it.”
Matt Jerlecki, Director of Learning, Lippert

"Lippert needed to find ways to continue to expand our operations and automate and innovate our products and our product lines. Looking at our existing workforce and our individual team members, we knew how hard it was to hire talent. We had to come up with a way so that we could upskill our existing team members who are already working for us or doing a great job. Registered Apprenticeship Programs were a great way to do this.”
Victoria Baker, Global Child Development Services Director, Cummins Child Development Center

"The workforce challenge we were facing was having teachers coming to us with the education but not being able to implement what was being presented. The Registered Apprenticeship program has helped with that challenge to be able to hire the staff and to work with them hand in hand with on the job training starting with basics and moving into more advanced subjects such as communication and interactions with parents.”
Robert Head, Apprenticeship Program Manager, Endress+Hauser

"Endress+Hauser has several Registered Apprenticeship Programs. What we're really introducing the apprentice to is our culture. Culture is the number one reason you set up an apprenticeship. Because as you train an individual within your company, you're trying to bring them into your culture while giving them a valuable skill set you are needing. That is very key for Endress+Hauser.”
