Description
Interested in learning about strategies for launching and expanding programs that use Registered Apprenticeship as a career pathway for youth?
This webinar will provide ideas and share example program models for youth apprenticeship, both for high school students and for engaging disconnected, out-of-school youth.
Join us to learn about:
- The U.S. Department of Labor’s new framework for Registered Apprenticeships for high school students;
- Wisconsin’s industry-driven statewide youth apprenticeship program which engages high school students in Registered Apprenticeships in 10 industry areas such as finance, information technology (IT) and manufacturing; and
- A local apprenticeship program in Philadelphia that provides career opportunities in healthcare for disconnected youth.
