The Benefits of Creating Apprenticeship Programs

According to the latest National Economic Impact of Franchising report from the International Franchise Association, U.S. franchises have been credited with creating 13.3 million jobs within the industry. Franchise companies should continue to grow in this forward direction to help employees, especially students, transition into long-term careers and assist in developing transferable skills.
