Oakland County Michigan WORKS! Race to Talent Event

REGISTERED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS: Related Technical Instruction — A Critical Complement to On-the-Job Training

March 3, 2026 | 2-3:30 p.m.
Oakland Community College
2900 Featherstone Road, Auburn Hills
G Building, Room 240 (Use Parking Lots 14 & 8)

There is more to a Registered Apprenticeship Program than just on-the-job training. Michigan’s 22,000 active apprentices also spend time in the classroom, learning skills specific to the occupation.

Join us on Tuesday, March 3, at Oakland Community College in Auburn Hills, for an introduction to the classroom training component of Registered Apprenticeship Programs, Related Technical Instruction (RTI), and how it can be customized to meet the instructional needs of your Program. OCC partners with a number of employers to provide classroom learning in a variety of fields, from advanced manufacturing and construction to health care, IT and education.

Participants also will receive an overview of why Registered Apprenticeship Programs are more popular than ever, the steps involved in developing one with the help of an intermediary, and how Registered Apprenticeship Programs separate employers in their quest to build a talented workforce.

Workshop Highlights

  • Overview of Registered Apprenticeship Programs and Oakland County Michigan Works! resources
  • Related Technical Instruction: What you need to know with Oakland Community College
  • Panel discussion featuring employers and active Registered Apprentices
