Governor Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) Secretary Nancy A. Walker visited Steamfitters Local Union No. 449 in Butler County to commemorate National Apprenticeship Week and highlight the Shapiro Administration's historic investments in workforce development that help expand apprenticeship programs and create more opportunities for Pennsylvanians in the building and construction trades. "It's great to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week with instructors and apprentices from Steamfitters Local 449 today. Through registered apprenticeships like the ones here at the Steamfitters, thousands of Pennsylvanians have been given the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "I believe we can connect the dots between our businesses, our schools, and labor - and through investments in programs like this one, my Administration will continue to be a strong partner in building the best, most highly-trained workforce in the country right here in Pennsylvania."Speakers Include:Kenny BroadbentJosh WasielewskiSecretary Nancy WalkerDashawn GoldingGovernor Josh Shapiro
