ICPF Offers Apprenticeship Program To Help Fill Open Plant Positions The International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) has announced a new opportunity for corporate partners to fill plant floor positions through registered apprentice- ships. ICPF is working on a partnership with SkillsUSA Il- linois to make their Registered Apprenticeship Program available to interested partners. This program targets spe- cific positions and allows high school students to partici- pate in work-based learning experiences while in school. This solution is designed so companies can create their own unique talent pipeline. SkillsUSA Illinois handles all the U.S. Department of Labor paperwork and helps recruit the candidates. Companies take part in the selection pro- cess and bring on apprentices who want to work, can learn under senior employees to close the knowledge gap, and go on to become full-time employees. Students 16 years or older can participate in the program and this will work in a union environment. The Registered Apprenticeship Program is currently available only to those with facilities in Illinois. However, SkillsUSA Illinois is currently working on a grant that can in- clude a national rollout for the industry. All they need is for the industry to show interest. For information, visit icpfbox. org . Contact csalaverria@icpfbox.org to set up an informa- tional meeting with SkillsUSA Illinois.
