Berrien Talent Collaborative
Any student. Any job. One thriving community.
The Berrien Talent Collaborative helps our community by creating a talent supply chain. The Collaborative is an employer-led initiative for high school students that merges the area’s education and job development resources to create a sustained pool of skilled workers through an apprenticeship program.
Employers: Through this registered apprenticeship program, high school students can get the direct training needed to become your next pharmacist, project manager, veterinary technician, software engineer, accountant, or logistics coordinator. Complete an Employer Interest Form ->
High School Students: Getting a traditional degree is not for everyone. It can be expensive and overwhelming. However, just because you don’t have a traditional 4-year degree does not mean that you don’t deserve to have a great career. Consider participating in a registered apprenticeship while in high school. You will gain real-world experience while getting paid and will complete a program with a guaranteed job and no student loans! Complete an Apprenticeship Interest Form ->
The Berrien Talent Collaborative is a partnership between Berrien RESA, Lake Michigan College, the Southwest Regional Chamber, and the Greater Niles Chamber of Commerce.
