Tune in as NAWB President and CEO, Brad Turner-Little, is joined by David Polk, Director of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development's Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards, and President of NASTAD (National Association of State and Territorial Apprenticeship Directors), during National Apprenticeship Week 2024. Polk shares his unique perspective as a third-generation plumber who came full circle, from proudly graduating Wisconsin's apprenticeship program to now overseeing it. The conversation explores Wisconsin's innovative approaches to apprenticeship, including its nationally recognized youth apprenticeship program, expansion into new sectors like healthcare and education, and strategies to support small businesses and increase program completion rates. Discover how Wisconsin partners with workforce boards and technical colleges to create successful apprenticeship pathways, and gain insights into the future of work-based learning as a solution to America's growing skilled workforce shortage.
