November 2025 HR Lunch Bunch: Creating New Pathways for Talent and Workforce Development

In today’s competitive talent landscape, traditional hiring and training approaches aren’t always enough to fill those hard-to-recruit positions or build the skilled workforce your organization needs. Registered Apprenticeships (RA) offer a proven solution that creates new pathways for talent development while delivering measurable returns on investment. This interactive session explores how Registered Apprenticeships can transform your talent strategy — not by replacing what you’re already doing, but by enhancing and expanding your existing programs. We’ll dive into what makes RA different from internships, why the ROI data from places like Kansas is getting national attention, and how Department of Labor research shows these programs consistently deliver results for both employers and workers. You’ll discover how RA programs address those positions that seem impossible to fill, creating a pipeline of skilled workers who are trained specifically for your industry and organization. We’ll also explore exciting partnership opportunities through the SHRM Foundation, life science sector initiatives, and the Future Ready Oregon grant that can help fund and support your apprenticeship journey. Attendees will: -Understand what Registered Apprenticeships are and how they create sustainable talent pipelines -See compelling ROI evidence and real-world outcomes that demonstrate business impact -Learn how RA programs complement and enhance existing talent development strategies -Discover funding and partnership opportunities available right now -Explore practical next steps for implementing apprenticeships in their organizations This isn’t just about workforce development — it’s about building a competitive advantage through strategic talent investment.
