Here is a 2019 report from the American Urban Institute promoting apprenticeships. The topics investigated by the Institute, focus on equity and inclusion. Apprenticeship are a means to provide access to education and qualifications for large sectors of American society who are unable to afford higher education.
The report provides an overview of apprenticeships in the American context. After an introduction, there are six sections. These are:
- economy and business - with emphasis on returns to employers and apprentices.
- education - provides examples across several stated of how apprenticeship are configured.
- preparing young adults for the world of work - highlights examples across retail, culinary arts, construction trades and workplace based mentoring.
