Washington State officially approved the Certified Safety Specialist Apprenticeship Program (CSSAP) in 2018 to offer Washington State employers a proven method to transfer the skills and knowledge of your professional safety personnel to the next generation of productive employees and future leadership.

According to employer needs, the CSSAP and its advisory committee, comprised of employers and employees, have developed and implemented this unique apprenticeship program to meet the growing need for qualified safety professionals to fill open positions.

Reliable and Loyal Employees

The apprenticeship program is a career path for your workforce that provides stability and loyalty at your organization. It also provides the opportunity for employees to expand their knowledge and skill level. When an apprentice completes their apprenticeship program, they are more inclined to grow with your business because they are already invested in your company.

Your Return on Investment:

According to a study published by the *United States Department of Labor in 2016, employers earn an return on investment or ROI of between $1.30 and $3.00 for every $1.00 invested in apprenticeship training.  Furthermore, many apprenticeship programs improve student’s communications, human relations, citizenry and analytical skills, that employers’ value in their employees.

Competitive Advantage

**According to this study, 97% of businesses with apprenticeship programs would recommend apprenticeship to other employers.  They further believe that apprenticeship improves their overall performance and provides a competitive advantage over other firms. Companies most often turned to apprenticeship because they could not find labor that met their minimum standards.

We can measure the benefits to the apprenticeship model, which is often referred to as “earn and learn,” using three types of metrics:

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”off” custom_width_px=”1080px” custom_width_percent=”80%”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid”]
