WHY APPRENTICESH IPS?

The talent gap is a national crisis that threatens America’s competitive edge. Applying the age-old practice of apprenticeships can serve to renew the purpose of America’s higher education and training systems—systems that have become dated and leave American youth saddled with debt, and deficient in the critical skills necessary for today’s emerging economy.

Expanding the U.S. apprenticeship program in existing industries, as well as developing programs in non-traditional industries such as IT, Healthcare, Advanced Manufacturing, and Professional Services, can help fill this gap.

They do not provide simply a map of the employment pathway, but rather a well-built, well-lit roadway to a sustainable career. We are excited to be combining our experience in workforce development with Franklin Apprenticeships’ track record of introducing the apprenticeship model to support non-traditional fields. The result is a solution that provides employers and job seekers with the advantages of apprenticeships in every sector of the U.S. economy.”
