The U.S. Department of Labor has recognized the AICPA & CIMA, which together form the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, as an “apprenticeship ambassador."
The apprenticeship ambassador initiative creates a national network of employers, labor organizations, industry associations, educators, community-based organizations and other stakeholders committed to championing registered apprenticeship programs.
Apprenticeship ambassadors work to expand and diversify apprenticeship opportunities, focusing on creating inclusive, accessible pathways for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds and underserved communities.
