Assuring Quality in Apprenticeships: A Transatlantic Dialogue
Body

The Urban Institute and the Association of Employment and Learning Providers hosted the fourth annual Transatlantic Apprenticeship Exchange Forum on Tuesday, November 13, during National Apprenticeship Week. The United States and the United Kingdom are both undergoing important transitions in their apprenticeship systems. How are the two countries creating systems that simplify apprenticeship development while assuring high-quality learning? What can countries on both sides of the Atlantic learn from each other? This forum covered the latest developments in US-UK apprenticeship policy, the functions of a well-structured apprenticeship system, and whether existing and new institutions are fulfilling these functions. Speakers included leading authorities and practitioners from Canada, the UK, and the US.
