Delivering Employer-Driven Apprenticeships
Body

Conversation with Congressman John Sarbanes and Final Session  

The Urban Institute, New Work Training, and the American Institute for Innovative Apprenticeship hosted the second annual Transatlantic Apprenticeship Exchange Forum on November 15 during National Apprenticeship Week. The forum offered lessons on how best to attract employers to build apprenticeship programs, drawing on the experiences of US and UK intermediaries and employers. Hear how direct marketing to firms, financial incentives, and linkages with training providers are expanding apprenticeship in the United States and the United Kingdom. Learn how the US Department of Labor is establishing occupational standards, encouraging state initiatives, and supporting industry-based initiatives.
