Build Your Workforce Your Way ActivateWork Apprenticeships

ActivateWork is revolutionizing how businesses grow their tech teams by building a pipeline of highly motivated, job-ready tech professionals through our apprenticeship program. 

Our tech apprenticeships are co-designed with you to develop job-ready talent equipped with the skills your business needs to thrive. Apprenticeship combines paid, on-the-job training with relevant, hands-on technical instruction, so you get capable, motivated, full-time employees ready to contribute from day one—earning a wage while building the skills they need to grow in your company.

Unlike internships or unpaid training, ActivateWork’s apprenticeships are registered and approved by Apprenticeship Colorado, delivering high-quality, standards-based training aligned with industry needs. 

With ongoing support from ActivateWork’s team of career coaches and account managers, you’ll develop your team in a way that’s customized to your business needs. Plus, by providing on-the-job training and mentorship, your apprentices learn your systems, adapt to your culture, and meet your expectations—right from the start.

How It Works

Every apprenticeship follows a clear structure—built to ensure quality, consistency, and long-term success. ActivateWork takes care of the heavy lifting: sourcing candidates, delivering rigorous pre-apprenticeship training, and providing ongoing mentorship and coaching. Once onboarded, your apprentices gain hands-on experience while being supported by our team to ensure their success—and yours.

1. Step 1: Recruit & Prepare
   ActivateWork sources and screens candidates for aptitude, resilience, motivation, and coachability. Selected learners complete rigorous, industry-driven technical training provided by our education partner, Per Scholas.
2. Step 2: Hire & Train
   You hire the apprentice as a full-time employee. ActivateWork supports you in structuring the job-based training and managing progress toward competency milestones to ensure your apprentices are acquiring the day-to-day skills needed to get the job done—no guesswork required.
3. Step 3: Coach & Retain
   Each apprentice receives 12 months of professional coaching from ActivateWork. This includes workplace readiness, communication, leadership development, and ongoing support to help them grow and stay.
