Obtain Highly Skilled, Affordable Employees
Companies that take advantage of NSCA’s federally approved EST Apprenticeship program often notice an increase in profit due to the lower wages of entry-level workers. EST Apprenticeship meets licensure requirements in some states and is also a good option for companies struggling with local licensure requirements. Cost effective for employers and resulting in highly skilled workers, the EST apprenticeship program is a win-win. Upon completion, apprenticeship graduates enter the workforce as knowledgeable and skilled employees able to handle multiple disciplines within in the industry. More information.
