Reaching for the Moon: Can America Deliver 5 Million Additional Apprenticeships?
Body

The Urban Institute and Franklin Apprenticeships hosted the third annual Transatlantic Apprenticeship Exchange Forum on Tuesday, November 14, during National Apprenticeship Week. The forum addressed the idea of the “moonshot” to create 5 million apprenticeships in the US. Apprenticeship and industry leaders in the United States and the United Kingdom discussed practical means by which quality apprenticeships can be expanded through initiatives in marketing, financing, developing occupational standards, and other solutions.

The forum included the following panels:

  • Sharing the Costs, Sharing the Benefits
  • Occupational Frameworks and Competencies: How Broad, How Narrow?
  • Selling and Organizing Apprenticeships
