Kathryn P. Castelloes
Registered Apprenticeship and Customized Training: How They Work
Together, Presented by:
Director, ApprenticeshipNCDuring her time as Director of
Apprenticeships for the North Carolina Department of Labor, Kathryn
P. Castelloes was responsible for all Apprenticeship Programs
including program quality assurance and regulatory adherence to
federal and state guidelines. From 2009 to 2017, she stabilized and
maintained the Apprenticeship Program during the country’s economic
downturn and the associated challenges of sustainable funding. Her
creative approaches to these hurdles (including a legislative
mandate to incorporate a fee for each apprentice) resulted in the
program being transitioned first to the North Carolina Department
of Commerce, then to the North Carolina Community College
system—thereby sustaining the program as a whole. During this
period, Kathryn was awarded certification in Public Management from
the state of North Carolina. In 2013 represented the Apprenticeship
Program in Germany where she collaborated with members of the
Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry on their
apprenticeship model.
