This summer I had the opportunity to work with the Idaho Department of Labor in the Registered Apprenticeship Division. My job was researching the requirements for becoming a Workforce Consultant under an apprenticeship program. This was a fully remote externship whereby we had meetings online via TEAMS. This entailed learning about state and national labor laws and programs. It required an extensive amount of research regarding what it takes for an individual to become part of an apprenticeship program and the skills required to go into the workforce. My tasks were to research what specific skills an entry-level workforce consultant needs in order to successfully do their job. I contacted various employers and employment agencies and created a survey for individuals at IDOL asking specific questions regarding the requirements for one to become a workforce consultant. From that survey, I compiled a “job requirements” document that could be used to set the criteria and standards to be mastered for a person choosing the workforce consultant career path. The apprenticeship program requires 144 hours of instruction, so I needed to find educational pathways related to the field of a workforce consultant and display the various courses a person could choose from. I found a multitude of free online courses as well as programs requiring a fee. In completing my research, I learned what it takes to work behind the scenes with the Idaho Department of Labor and how much work goes into just one career path. I am excited to take back what I learned and share this information with students and career counselors.
