Ascend Indiana’s Post

It is the inaugural year for Youth Apprenticeship Week, which celebrates the benefits of Registered Apprenticeships for youth. Registered Apprenticeship programs across the state link education with the workforce and provide Iowa’s young people with opportunities to develop valuable technical skills, earn credits and wages and train for a future career. #ChooseYourPathwayIA #YAW2024 #ApprenticeshipUSA

It's been a blast celebrating the first-ever #YouthApprenticeshipWeek! We are so appreciative of our #RegisteredApprenticeship partners who have embraced the apprenticeship model to help young people start their career paths! #apprenticeshipworks #careerpath #YAW2024 #talentpipeline #talentdevelopment

Modern youth apprenticeships help employers grow their talent pipeline to meet both immediate and long-term staffing needs. It’s a system that’s mutually beneficial to students and employers.

We love that we get to be a partner with Apprenticeship 2.0. The latest episode offers some history on apprenticeship at the federal level and brings the conversation to teacher apprenticeship in Colorado. "In the second of Apprenticeship 2.0’s two-part series on institutions of higher education and apprenticeship degrees, Joe and Liz chat with Dr. Pam Eddinger, President of Bunker Hill Community College in Massachusetts, and Dr. Liz Qualman, Director of Teacher Education at Colorado Mountain College. Together, they discuss the U.S. Department of Labor’s Advisory Committee for Apprenticeship, how that committee is addressing needs to advance registered apprenticeships, how teacher apprenticeship programs are weaving social justice into the teaching fabric, how apprenticeship programs can serve as a key solution to the teacher shortage, and much more."
