11 Next Level Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning

Work-based or “on-the-job” learning through apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs benefits learners from all education and socioeconomic levels and put them on a fast track to high-wage, nationally portable careers. In this episode of “Ready for Work," we talk to leaders in postsecondary education and business about the use of work-based learning programs at the community level and the personal and economic results that can be gained from creating such programs. Among the topics: How work-based learning and apprenticeship enhance other training methods How apprenticeships help learners who have not previously been successful in traditional education The effectiveness and return on investment for apprenticeship programs How these initiatives are typically funded What it takes to launch a successful initiative How apprenticeship programs can leverage national certifications to improve outcomes The future of apprenticeship models and what it will take to support them Why industry partner engagement is crucial to initiative success And more!
