Producing well-rounded and highly trained employees, which equates to higher quality of work.
Taking advantage of potential Tax Credits, including Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC).
Staying competitive and reducing workforce turnover.
Return on Investment (ROI) -- According to the Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS) at the California Department of Industrial Relations, employers can expect an ROI of $1.47 for every $1.00 invested.
Company Loyalty -- the DAS reports that the average retention rate of an apprentice is 91%, and that apprentices report greater pride in their work and commitment to the employer.
“For me, the number one benefit is that it will help enhance the professionalism of our employees – which is paramount as we look for ways to grow our business by emphasizing the quality of our workforce. This program is designed to not only confirm qualifications, but have the added benefit of reducing turnover, building employee confidence, and fostering team and company pride. Those are solid-gold outcomes that I believe will help distinguish my technicians and specialists from those who don’t have the PSATC seal of approval.”
