Originally uploaded December 26, re-edited February 19th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Teri Sand, SHRM-CP, PHR, CBSP, CRP, Business Services Manager, Capital Area Michigan Works!, Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham Eaton, and Clinton Counties THEME: Capital Area Michigan Works! Business Services Manager Teri Sand discusses the importance of Registered Apprenticeships, particularly in the healthcare field, and how CAMW! supports the development of healthcare apprenticeships in the region. Question: What are Registered Apprenticeships and what challenges do they help address in the workforce? Registered Apprenticeships are structured, industry-driven career pathways that provide individuals with classroom instruction and a nationally recognized credential that demonstrates their skills and qualifications. They are a valuable alternative to traditional education routes like college degrees, as they provide a direct route to meaningful careers and provide on-the-job learning in a variety of career fields. They also allow individuals to develop specialized skills while earning a paycheck and gaining work experience, unlike other forms of education. Registered Apprenticeships address multiple challenges in the workforce including talent shortages, increasing demand for services, workforce retention, staffing and skill gaps. They help improve employee retention by offering workers a clear career path and the skills needed for advancement. This is especially critical in healthcare, where high turnover and burnout can significantly affect the quality of care. Many employers in evolving industries face challenges in closing skill gaps — the difference between the skills needed for positions and the skills job seekers possess. Apprenticeships are a critical talent pipeline for organizations because they provide targeted training to equip workers with specific, up-to-date skills. Question: Why is there a growing need for Registered Apprenticeships in the healthcare field? There are many factors that pose workforce challenges in the healthcare field. Employment in healthcare is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2032, with 1.8 million openings per year, creating a significant demand for skilled workers. Talent shortages, burnout among healthcare workers and increasing skill demands have made it difficult for employers to keep pace with growing demand. Question: What is the current state of Registered Apprenticeships in the healthcare industry and how are they helping address workforce challenges and meet growing skill demands? Employers are increasingly turning towards registered apprenticeships as they allow them to recruit a diverse workforce, reduce turnover and instill their company culture more effectively. In 2023, the number of registered apprentices in the healthcare field reached 24,492, marking a 169% increase over the past five years. Question: How does CAMW! collaborate with local healthcare businesses to implement apprenticeship opportunities and what are some examples of apprenticeship programs CAMW! supports? CAMW! works closely with businesses to tailor apprenticeship opportunities that align with industry demands, ensuring that both employers and apprentices benefit from a structured, hands-on training experience. Question: Where can people go if they want to learn more about health apprenticeships in the Lansing region? More information about healthcare apprenticeships can be found under the “explore career options” tab on CAMW!'s website, www.camw.org.

Originally uploaded November 26, re-edited February 18th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Teri Sand, SHRM-CP, PHR, CBSP, CRP, Business Services Manager, Capital Area Michigan Works!, Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham Eaton, and Clinton Counties. THEME: In light of Veteran's Day, Capital Area Michigan Works! Business Services Manager Teri Sand gives an overview of the veteran support services CAMW! provides and the importance of aiding veterans in their job searches. Question: What barriers might veterans face when looking for a job? ● The shift from military to civilian life can be challenging, as veterans may struggle to translate military skills into civilian job qualifications or find jobs they feel a meaningful connection to. ○ According to the U.S. Department of Veterans, some barriers veterans may experience when reentering the workforce include: ■ Learning how to look for, apply or interview for a civilian job, especially if they have never done so before. Question: Why is it important to specifically support veterans in their job search? ● It is important to support veterans in obtaining employment not only because of the sacrifices they have made for our country but also because they bring valuable experience and skills that, though developed in a military setting, equip them for success in the workforce. Question: What services does CAMW! provide to directly support veterans in seeking employment? ● One resource CAMW! offers to support veterans is access to Veterans' Career Advisors (VCAs). ○ Located within Michigan Works! American Job Centers, VCAs provide intensive, individualized support to veterans and their spouses, including comprehensive assessment interviews, career guidance services and individual employment plans. Question: You mentioned that CAMW! frequently connects veterans to InvestVets for employment resources. Could you elaborate on the services InvestVets offers and its role in supporting veterans? ● INVESTVets focuses on bridging the military-civilian cultural gap, which as we've discussed, is one of the most significant barriers to veterans' employment. Question: Where can veterans go to learn more about the services CAMW! offers? ● To learn more about the services CAMW! offers, veterans can visit our website at camw.org. Under the "Career Seekers" tab, there is a dedicated page titled “Veteran Employment Services.”

Using their pet grooming business as an example, where all the owners are passionate about pets, they emphasize that life is too short to dread your work.

He explains the benefits of the industry, such as its seasonal nature, recession-proof status, and the challenge of dealing with the IRS.
