Going All In on Providing Viable Pathways Through Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship 2.0
<p> <span> In this episode of Apprenticeship 2.0, Kiko chats with Mark Hedstrom, Executive Director of Skilled Careers Coalition (SCC), and Chelle Travis, Executive Director of SkillsUSA. Together, they discuss differing career pathways for young people, key findings from recent research from both organizations, the apprenticeship “knowledge gap,” how apprenticeships compare to traditional education pathways in terms of career readiness and skills development, how industry and business can connect students to apprenticeship opportunities and provide equal opportunities, and much more.</span></p>
