We’re celebrating National Apprenticeship Week! Apprenticeships combine real-world and traditional learning to help participants develop skills and earn certified credentials that are recognized industry-wide.
Apprenticeships and other forms of work-based learning are key components of the Perkins V legislation. Check out our Perkins V brief for specific steps to help states improve learning and outcomes for their students.
The benefits are clear!#Apprenticeships provide paid on-the-job #training and real-world experience for individuals to develop the skills that employers value. #NationalApprenticeshipWeekhttps://t.co/3SnRCCHjwH

Apprenticeships are a POWERFUL tool for training and developing highly skilled workers…
Kentucky has nearly 4,000 registered apprentices, and we have allotted $1.5 million in federal funding to grow apprenticeship opportunities. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek pic.twitter.com/dNlX0f3Gol

"If we can develop channels that provide employers with the talent they need, with the right training to get the job done in ways that are more efficient, that’s a win for both sides." – @mattsigelman #NAW2019 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek https://t.co/CuDzKzJItl
