Fundamentals of Youth Apprenticeship

This year marks the tenth anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week—an annual nationwide celebration to showcase the value of apprenticeship as an effective model for career seekers to access good jobs and to build a more inclusive economy.

To honor the progress of the last decade, this webinar will review and demystify apprenticeship models for people ages 16 to 24—often called youth apprenticeships. Join us for a brief presentation and engaging Q&A on the fundamental components of youth apprenticeship including: related technical instruction, paid on-the-job learning, and the collaboration of employers, educators, and community organizations.

The conversation will be led by subject matter experts at New America, the lead partner of the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship, a multi-year, collaborative initiative committed to expanding access to high-quality apprenticeship opportunities for high school age youth.
