Employer Consortiums


Our manufacturing consortiums are composed of employers, colleges, government training consultants, and union representatives looking to solve workforce development issues including apprenticeships.

Making life easier for Employers who hire apprentices

Our consortia have been remarkably successful in helping manufacturers and communities increase the supply of skilled tradespersons and other technical occupations. To date, our regional consortia have helped local manufacturers find over 1,900 apprentices and other skilled workers.

CSTEC offers wage incentives to help employers hire apprentices and other skilled industrial workers. For more information, contact Darin Tucci, Kim Bertrand, or Robert Karklins.
