About MoAMP

Through the Missouri Community College Association, our nine-member consortium of technical and community colleges is preparing Missourians to meet the needs of tomorrow’s workforce. With substantial funding from the U.S. Department of Labor, we are developing innovative apprenticeship training programs that will lead to high-demand occupations in the advanced manufacturing industry.

A global leader in the industry, manufacturing represents 11.5% of Missouri’s total private sector employment with 268,693 workers across 6,954 establishments. In 2021, Missouri exported more than $12 billion in manufacturing products to markets around the world.

Registered Apprenticeship is a fully customizable, employer-driven training model that has many benefits for both employers and workers.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employers see an average $1.47 in increased productivity for every dollar spent on an apprentice. National statistics also show there is an over 95% retention rate for employees that complete an apprenticeship program.
