The Challenge

Legacy Systems / Legacy Talent

Legacy and data-driven systems still power many of the world’s most critical industries. Yet, the workforce that keeps them running is aging out, and replacements are increasingly hard to find.



Recruiting alone can’t solve the problem. Employers need a sustainable way to source, train, and retain talent in roles that keep business operations moving. SKILLSFIT™ solves this challenge by pairing hands-on, performance-based training with a fully managed apprenticeship model that brings job-ready talent into your team from day one.

How it works

Talent is sourced through YUPRO Placement’s nationwide network and pre-assessed using career fit tools that align skills to your open roles. Each apprentice completes over 100 hours of pre-placement training with Franklin Skills, covering technical foundations, collaboration, and professional readiness.

Apprentices begin on-the-job assignments as W2 employees of YUPRO Placement.
We handle payroll, benefits, and compliance while providing coaching, mentorship, and professional development that accelerate time-to-productivity.

Apprentices grow into full contributors within eight weeks and continue developing through role-specific training and feedback. This approach builds institutional knowledge, reduces turnover, and strengthens your internal pipeline for long-term workforce stability.
