Ready to have your perspectives on job training and workforce planning transformed?
We're talking apprenticeships, but not as you know them. Our eye-opening conversation with Ryan Craig—Managing Director at Achieve Partners—will redefine your understanding of apprenticeships as more than mere training programs—they're actual jobs, complete with built-in training and wage increments. We examine how colleges and universities struggle to keep pace with the evolving job market, a gap that apprenticeships are poised to fill. Plus, we explore the often-overlooked role of intermediaries like unions in the successful implementation of these programs.
From organizations that facilitate apprenticeship services to success stories from other countries, this conversation is loaded with practical insights and innovative ideas.
Join us for this fresh take on the future of the job market.
