Dear Reader,

Wouldn’t it be amazing if your business constantly had employees who have all mastered the skills of your industry, they’re all trained the exact same way and they all embody your business’ core values? Well, that concept is easily attainable by having your own Apprenticeship Program.

When you bring an apprentice on board with your company you essentially start off with a “tabula rasa,” or a blank slate. By that I mean that you will have someone who doesn’t just yet have the knowledge or skills to be successful in your industry. Many business owners would fear that idea; however, it’s a beautiful one. You will have the perfect opportunity to develop your apprentice the way you want to, you can choose what information you want to pour into them and you can also teach them the right way of doing things.

This is your chance to mold your apprentices into your ideal employees who will become experts in your business and will be able to then train others the same way you have developed them. Now you can have a team of apprentices that can duplicate themselves, and you will constantly have a pool of perfectly trained employees at hand at any time. This is ideal for businesses who want to expand or have future projects in the works.

Being able to cover all your bases when it comes to skills that your business demands, allows your business to be ready for whatever your current and future business endeavors may be. Knowing that you already have that team of apprentices that have become perfectly skilled employees will ease your stress and allow you to spend more time on other ways of making your business more successful.

Well, that’s it for now. Come back tomorrow when I’ll be talking about how having an Apprenticeship Program increases productivity in your business. Ciao!

For the past few weeks we have been discussing how you can develop your own Apprenticeship Program for your business, but now it’s time for you to know WHY it’s important to develop your own program.

It’s obvious that after the economy took a hit a few years ago that the unemployment rate increased because businesses simply couldn’t afford to keep hiring, and many even had to let go most of their employees. However, the economy will not improve if that unemployment rate doesn’t decrease, which means that businesses have to start hiring again. And that’s where the Apprenticeship Program comes into play.

Here are the four main reasons why you should start an Apprenticeship Program of your own:

• Your business will constantly have a pool of highly-skilled employees to cover all your needs in the short-term and in the future.
• Productivity will increase and your business will produce higher quality work.
• It’s VERY cost effective. Training apprentices costs less than hiring skilled workers.
• You will have a team of employees that will always demonstrate loyalty to your company.

Stay tuned, because throughout the week I will talk more about each benefit that the Apprenticeship Program can bring to your business. See you guys tomorrow!

Literally, you have served us, now let us serve you. Today will be a day of seizing major opportunities and making connections to help Veterans for the greater good. As we all know today is Veteran’s Day and while most people are respectfully taking the day off in honor of those men and women who have served our country proudly, some of us will still be working. The type of work I’ll be doing today isn’t anything physically demanding, or a huge deadline on a project. I’m going to be focusing on finding companies and organizations that are doing something to honor our Veterans.  Mainly because hundreds of companies  in every size will be announcing what they’re doing for Veterans on this special day.  This gives me the perfect opportunity to collect data and call them on Monday to ensure that their service to Veterans is more than one day each year.

When I call I’ll tell these companies about BWTI and how we’re going to help put “Vets and the Rest Back to Work Through Innovation!” I want to put BWTI and the Apprenticeship program on the minds of organizations who care about Veterans. I want to share our vision with you. Here at JASZ Tech we believe that “We the people…” can solve the jobs problem in America. There are 3.2 million open jobs in America. Businesses (excluding JASZ Tech of course) claim that their jobs have gone unfilled because they can’t find qualified workers to fill them. At JASZ Tech we’re advocating for filling these and future job vacancies through apprenticeships. Teach Veterans new skills to fill your open jobs, not only will the organization get tax breaks and other incentives, but they get custom trained employees perfectly tailored to perform the job. We’re teaching other businesses how to setup apprenticeships and get Vets and the Rest Back to Work. This is our rally cry…BACK TO WORK – BACK TO WORK – BACK TO WORK

Lastly, I want to thank all Veterans who have served and are still serving our country. You are our heroes!
