Commissioner’s Message “Vermont’s unemployment rate continues to reach new lows. The scarcity of labor in Vermont is putting upward pressure on wage growth and downward pressure on employment growth. Taking a step back, the changes in employment growth from the last economic peak are startling. Between 2007 and 2018, the Vermont economy is estimated to have added 7,100 jobs. Over the same time period, the Burlington metro area has added 9,800 jobs. This means that over this 11-year period, the balance of the state - net the Burlington metro area – has 2,700 fewer jobs. To improve these outcomes, Vermont needs more workers to fill the open jobs across the state. These trends are another reason why the Department continues to heavily focus on assisting all employers across the state with the recruitment and retention of workers. If you are a business, or a job-seeker, reach out to your local Career Resource Center to learn how we can help,” said Labor Commissioner Lindsay Kurrle.
VT Dept of Labor “The Vermont Department of Labor’s Career Resource Centers are equipped to provide all job seekers with access to employment resources. Located in every region in the State, Centers offer oneon-one individualized planning and assessments, workshops, trainings, and presentations that will help kick-start your job search and career path!” o CAREER SERVICES • Job Connections and Referrals • Career Counseling and Guidance • Job Search Assistance • Employment Barrier Services o JOB SKILLS TRAINING • Access to Apprenticeships, Internships, Returnships • On-The-Job Training Opportunities • Access to Educational and Training Opportunities • Referrals for Tuition Assistance and Job Placement o REGIONAL WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS • Resume Writing • Interview Skill Development • Referrals to Community Partner Activities and Services • Job Fairs and Hiring Events

Apprenticeship VT Registered Apprenticeship is an employer-sponsored training program that includes both supervised work experience and related instruction. There are nearly 700 active apprentices in Vermont in over 25 different occupations. Employers participate in Registered Apprenticeship by “sponsoring” individuals as apprentices. The employer sets a progressive wage scale, agrees to provide supervised OJT, and helps financially support the related instruction component of the program. Related instruction in apprenticeship can be delivered in a variety of formats. In plumbing and electrical, most apprentices attend classes through Vermont Technical College at a number of sites around the state. In other occupations, students may attend classes delivered by the company. Union sponsors provide related instruction through classes at union training centers. If you are employed and wish to become an apprentice, your employer should contact the Apprenticeship office in Montpelier at 828-5250. An Apprenticeship Field Representative will be asked to make an on-site visit to help develop the program. If you are not employed, you can find an employer sponsor in a variety of ways. You can apply directly to employers who employ workers in the field in which you are interested. For example, if you are looking for a plumbing apprenticeship, you could apply for work at any of the local plumbing companies. You may also check for apprenticeship opportunities through www.vermontjoblink.com.
