10. It is increasingly difficult and expensive for Colorado’s businesses to recruit, train, and retain talent
Projected hiring and training costs for skilled roles in CO, $, thousands
Current reality
Recruiting, hiring and training costs Colorado businesses $24K+ per employee
An absence of labor skills will raise the cost of hiring and training skilled talent by 21% over 5 years
Skilled occupations need to be posted ~6x before being filled1
21%

2020
The inability to fill critical roles costs Colorado ~$300m in annual GDP

11. Apprenticeship programs have proven to help businesses recruit, train, and retain the best talent
40- 50%
30-50%
20-40%
Rate of return on apprenticeship program for rural health center and urban manufacturer1
Conversion to full-time employees based on cohort size2
Reduction in long-term hiring costs2
A 2016 Department of Commerce study of 13 apprenticeship programs found:
“Apprentices were more productive than typical workers. They provided the firm with a pipeline of skilled talent and were less likely to leave the job. They also got work done faster than regular new employees, which saved the company from paying up for excessive overtime“
