News On Apprenticeships

According to Inside Higher ED

“President Trump announced plans for advancing apprenticeships and work-based learning as central strategies for preparing America’s work force for the jobs of the future and addressing the skills gap. Living at the intersection of education and work force development for nearly 35 years, Jobs for the Future (JFF) agrees that the expansion of earn-and-learn strategies is a legitimate response to the demand from millions in America looking to gain a stronger foothold in the labor market.

At first glance, the initial announcement presents opportunities to deepen collaboration among community colleges, employers, labor, work force boards and other partners in developing high-quality work-based learning programs that prepare workers for the 21st-century economy. Community colleges should play a vital role in apprenticeship, providing the classroom instruction that complements on-the-job training.”
