Why Create an Apprenticeship?

Whether you're new to apprenticeships or just exploring your options, here's why employers are choosing this model to build their workforce.

What is an Apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a structured program that combines paid, on-the-job training with skill development, where you commit to developing a worker over time with the intention of long-term employment.

Note on Registration

Apprenticeships can be DOL Registered (formally approved by the U.S. Department of Labor or State Apprenticeship Agencies) or Non-Registered (employer-created programs that meet apprenticeship standards). Both are valid options.

On Tallo, an apprenticeship program must include:

Paid employment from day one

Structured on-the-job training with a mentor or supervisor

Related instruction or skill development

Defined progression leading to increased responsibility and wages

Pathway to permanent employment or recognized credential

The Apprenticeship Advantage

Traditional hiring leaves you competing for experienced talent at premium costs, often in a limited candidate pool. Skilled workers are aging out, and entry-level candidates frequently lack the specific skills your business needs.

Apprenticeships solve this by letting you build the workforce you need instead of hoping to find it. And Tallo connects you with motivated talent before they hit traditional job boards or your competitors' radar.

Traditional Hiring

• Competing for scarce talent• Premium costs for experience• Skills mismatch in entry-level• Low retention (50-60%)

Why Employers Choose Apprenticeships

Train Employees Your Way

Reduce Turnover Dramatically

In fact, 94% of apprentices stay with their employers when they finish their programs, and 91% are still with the company 9 months after—compared to typical entry-level retention rates around 50-60%.
