Advancing Outcomes for Youth: Optimal Designs for Pre-Apprenticeships
Description
The Coalition for Career Development (CCD) Center highlights the importance of pre-apprenticeship programs in building a skilled, diverse workforce, especially for marginalized populations. These pre-apprenticeship programs offer an opportunity for youth and young adults to gain on-the-job training, earn a wage, and develop essential skills in high-demand fields. The CCD Center emphasizes the need for high-quality pre-apprenticeships that are inclusive and meet federal standards to ensure broader access and success. By addressing these gaps, apprenticeships can provide life-changing opportunities and economic mobility.
