Colorado Qualified Industry Intermediary and Qualified Talent Intermediary

Pikes Peak State College’s Office of Workforce Development has been selected by Apprenticeship Colorado as both a Colorado Qualified Industry Intermediary and Qualified Talent Intermediary. This recognition positions the College to provide customized support to employers, apprenticeship sponsors, career seekers, and apprentices throughout the state. In this role, PPSC will help expand high-quality Registered Apprenticeship Programs, increase employer participation, and connect more individuals with pathways into in-demand careers. The College will also work to broaden equitable access to apprenticeship opportunities, particularly for populations that have historically been underrepresented in apprenticeship programs. Through accurate guidance, strong partnerships, and coordination with Apprenticeship Colorado, PPSC will contribute to a more connected and responsive statewide apprenticeship system. This designation reflects the College’s continued commitment to strengthening Colorado’s workforce and creating opportunities for both employers and career seekers.
