Growth

Build your team

DesignApprenticeship will help you establish or grow your design team to meet the increasing demand for digital interface and experience design work.

A strong apprenticeship program can instill the quality and cultural skills your team needs to meet demand, while mitigating the pain points of traditional recruiting.

Solutions

Unlock the power of apprenticeship

01
Stem attrition

Apprenticeships help you find–and keep–great designers. The US Dept. of Labor reported an 89% three-year retention rate for apprenticeships, with 91% of apprentices retaining employment after the conclusion of the apprenticeship program.

02
Increase productivity

Maximize your returns on employee investment with an apprenticeship model. Recent studies in the U.S. and Canada showed that companies experienced a 45-50% rate of return on every dollar invested in apprenticeship programs.

03
Reduce hiring costs

Hiring isn’t cheap, and costs continue to rise with the talent shortages that have tripled in the U.S. over the past decade. Apprenticeships strengthen internal mobility, and they reduce the time and effort needed to find and train external workers.

04
Strengthen culture

An apprenticeship program has positive impacts on both your working environment and on the quality of your end product or service. We’ll help you build a program that instills company expectations, supports career development, and facilitates communication, mentorship, and skill building.
