印第安纳州新增注册学徒逾10600人创十年新高：活跃学徒逾27000人居全美第四
印第安纳州州长 Mike Braun 宣布，该州在上一个联邦财年新增注册学徒超过10,600人，同比增长11%，为十年来最高。州府印第安纳波利斯（Indianapolis）位于 Marion 县，州劳动力发展部门负责全州注册学徒计划的登记与统计。
新增学徒中，水管工、木匠与电工人数居前列。注册学徒在受训期间领取工资、边工作边学习，结业后进入相应技工岗位。目前全州活跃学徒总数超过27,000人，居全美第四。
州长办公室表示，学徒数量的增长与该州推广「边赚边学」模式有关，州劳动力发展部下设的工作本位学习与学徒办公室负责推动雇主设立注册学徒岗位，并向有意入行者提供申请渠道。
学徒制是该州技工人才输送的主要通道之一，建筑与制造等行业雇主对水管工、电工等持证技工的需求持续存在。州政府称将继续扩大注册学徒规模，以应对技工岗位的人手需求。

Indiana Adds More Than 10,600 New Registered Apprentices, Most in a Decade: Active Apprentices Top 27,000, Fourth in the Nation
Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced that the state added more than 10,600 new registered apprentices in the last federal fiscal year, an 11 percent increase over the year before and the most in a decade. Indianapolis, the state capital in Marion County, is home to the state workforce agency that registers and tracks the programs.
Plumbers, carpenters and electricians top the list of new apprentices. Registered apprentices earn a wage while learning on the job and move into skilled-trade positions after completing their programs. Indiana now counts more than 27,000 active apprentices, the fourth most in the nation.
The governor's office credited the growth to the state's promotion of the earn-and-learn model. The Department of Workforce Development's Office of Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship works with employers to register apprenticeship positions and connects residents with openings.
Apprenticeships are one of the state's main pipelines for skilled trades, with construction and manufacturing employers continuing to demand licensed plumbers, electricians and similar workers. The state says it will keep expanding registered apprenticeships to meet that demand.
