Unearthing talent: Embracing the 'era of professional apprentices'

About a year ago, the AICPA announced a new route to obtaining the Chartered Global Management Accountant designation. The path is an apprenticeship program that, earlier this week, welcomed the first three companies as official partners in the program. The Registered Apprenticeship for Finance Business Partners program was part of the festivities in Chicago at the kickoff of National Apprenticeship Week. Tom Hood, CPA/CITP, CGMA, executive vice president–Business Engagement & Growth at the AICPA, is the guest on this edition of the Journal of Accountancy podcast to talk more about the program and where it's headed.
