Reimagining Workforce Program Delivery with Apprenti
Neshe Consulting helped strengthen and expand an apprenticeship intermediary’s approach to delivering their programs.
Q: How do you adapt workforce programs to address evolving employer needs?
Apprenti is a leader in the creation & implementation of Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs), revolutionizing how businesses develop skilled workers. Recognized by the US Department of Labor as an Industry Intermediary, Apprenti works directly with employers & industries to expand RAPs across the country.
As an acclaimed provider of apprenticeship programs, Apprenti had developed reliable sales & implementation tactics. However, after a significant hiring slowdown in the tech sector, Apprenti suddenly faced new pressures and mounting obstacles to meet its goals. It therefore needed to adapt, both internally and externally, in order to remain competitive and satisfy its clients.
The Challenge
Imagine new pathways & processes to efficiently sell, deliver, and support apprenticeship programs to meet evolving employer needs.
The Outcome
Helped design & implement a comprehensive organizational and account management strategies, leading to unique business opportunities.
To address industry headwinds, Neshe Consulting collaborated and consulted with Apprenti staff to build a series of strategic resources in alignment with the organization’s core mission. To begin, we recommended refinements and enhancements to Apprenti’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Next, we facilitated the development of an “Employer Rubric”, a set of metrics used to analyze the effectiveness of Apprenti’s corporate partnerships. Finally, we aided in the expansion of Apprenti’s account management and sales strategy.
​
This evolutionary process helped hone Apprenti’s business practices and align to the newly outlined tools and metrics. Together, we fashioned a unique engagement strategy for client referrals, including targeted messaging and revised collateral. We also made recommendations to streamline Apprenti’s product & service offerings to clarify programmatic costs and value-add. During the time of our engagement, Apprenti had expanded into two new industries (Life Sciences and Human Resources) and launched a new sales enablement strategy. Ultimately, this collaboration allowed Apprenti to increase its efficiency and productivity, even as they operated in adverse market conditions.
