Youth Apprenticeship: A Vision for the Future, a Plan for Today

Apprenticeships for young people can be a key connection point into the world of work. These programs provide opportunities for people of all backgrounds to develop true careers with growth potential.

How do we make earn-and-learn pathways a more common and equitable option for all 16-to-24-year-olds across the country?

This National Apprenticeship Week virtual event discussed the promise of apprenticeship for in-school and out-of-school youth, and showcased how leaders across the United States are implementing and expanding these programs in their schools, regions, and states.

Listeners will hear about how apprenticeship is being advanced at the federal and state level, how states are using those opportunities to create and expand youth apprenticeship programs for in-school and out-of-school youth, and how partnerships help to build and sustain Registered Apprenticeship for young people.
