Our program’s mission and philosophy
With early investment in mind, we launched our apprenticeship program in 2017 in anticipation of the aging workforce nearing retirement.
Each year, we improve our program, refining our model to best develop skilled talent to match Pinnacol’s organizational needs.
Prioritizing program alignment with the ever-changing needs of the modern work landscape allows us to effectively train talent for where we will need them most.
