@HC_Workforce released a special issue in honor of #NationalApprenticeshipWeek. It highlights various state Registered Apprenticeship programs: Washington Healthcare Apprenticeship Consortium, @KansasWorkforce Office of Registered Apprenticeship, and Colorado’s Healthcare Apprenticeship program. As well as FHN's Apprenticeship program: "Working with the regional workforce development board, FHN built a healthcare apprenticeship model that would “grow their own” workforce and build a future workforce pipeline, focusing first on two jobs: Medical Assistant and Pharmacy Tech."

Although apprenticeships are common in many countries, they are relatively uncommon in the US. This is despite hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds being spent over the past few decades to support their development. Why aren’t apprenticeships more common? In many states, workers in specific industries must hold an occupational license before they are allowed to work, making it impossible for apprentices to learn on the job. Some states have recognised this barrier. In Utah and Minnesota, lawmakers have recently allowed for nursing apprenticeships in combination with a traditional nursing programme. These changes are crucial to encourage more workers to move into in-demand fields like health care.

As younger generations prioritise apprenticeships over degrees, organisations will need to reflect on and understand the skills they need within the business to succeed, in order to identify and recruit the right talent in a skills-focused world of work

Making Apprenticeships fit the sectors is something we have always done through a creative curriculum approach. Help give your employees a head start in their career by enrolling them onto C2C apprenticeship

Day 3 of apprenticeships is drawing to a close. Having been in three western states in 3 days, each state more rural than urban, it is abundantly clear that Pre-Apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeships enable a pathway to not only earn while you learn, but also to be able to learn where you. Healthcare is a common industry no matter where you live. I want to highlight the great work that Mary Lyman and her team are leading in growing their own skilled workforce as part of Mesa View in rural Mesquite Nevada. Registered Apprenticeship has played a role in upskilling those who already have some patient facing healthcare experience. With her teams mentorship, and the apprentices' previous patient facing experience, they are rapidly attaining competence in their upskilled occupations. I can't wait to see them continue to ladder up. They are setting an amazing example for other systems to follow in building career ladders that include RAP as a significant part of the pathway.

5th -11 February is National Apprenticeship Week! We caught up with some colleagues who are currently on PWDS apprenticeship programmes. Jay, who is an Integrated Pre-registration Trainee Pharmacy Technician (PTPT) at BNSSG spoke with us about his experience: Why did you choose to do a pharmacy technician apprenticeship? "I was interested in the wide ranging opportunities available to pharmacy technicians to work in varied roles doing and different things" What’s the best thing about doing an apprenticeship? "I enjoy having the time set out for study to help balance learning commitments as well as being able to learn so much on the job as well" What advice would you give someone considering an apprenticeship? "Make as best use of your time as possible. Get a good idea of the different pieces of coursework you need to complete and when you need to complete it by, to make sure you have enough time to commit to completing them on time"
