Friends, I am so excited to share my office’s second Apprenticeship Guidebook with you! I cannot believe its been a year since we released the first edition which has been shared with thousands of Philadelphians, especially our young people. It is our goal to help career seekers better understand the apprenticeship process and answer questions about the opportunities available across the City of Philadelphia. There are many paths to fulfilling family supporting and sustaining careers. It is my hope this book will make it easier for you to learn more about the work they offer. Most importantly, I wanted to help demystify the application process and the jobs available after completing an apprenticeship program. Research has shown unions are the cornerstone of the American middle class. Union participation is correlated with the percentage of the nation’s income going to the middle class. Family sustaining wages, comprehensive benefits, and access to training and career development are all ways unions support their members to ensure they have an economically secure future. It is important that we think about how we are creating skills-based opportunities for work and expanding pathways to the middle class. The COVID-19 pandemic has also clarified how important sick leave, family leave, and childcare are to the economy. Without them, we are not able to safely return to work. A study found public sector workers had more work-related flexibility, less work-family conflict, and less difficulty managing family responsibilities. Public sector workers have such higher rates of union participation. In 2019, it was five times higher than private sector union membership. Overall, if you’re looking for a fulfilling, family sustaining career, a union apprenticeship program can get you there. I hope you will use this resource to find the right career for you. As always, if there is anything my office can do for you, please let us know. Until then, happy reading! In Service,
Katherine Gilmore Richardson, Councilmember-At-Large 1
Greetings,
have created economic opportunities for a wide variety of communities, and we hope you will
Apprenticeship programs open the door to all of these opportunities and provide you with the
training you need to succeed. The average starting salary for an apprentice is $60,000 per year,
roughly $20,000 higher than the average salary in Philadelphia. Additionally, workers who start
in apprenticeship programs make, on average, $300,000 more over the span of their careers. As
when and how to apply, as well as what types of careers are available within each industry.
