  • Summary

  • As Registered Apprenticeship gains momentum around the country, more and more employers, high schools, colleges, and community-based organizations are interested in delivering apprenticeships. But organizations that are new to apprenticeship often don’t know where to start or what’s required. This podcast series will point you in the right direction. Hear experts describe the ins and outs of Registered Apprenticeship, including how the registration process helps ensure that apprentices from all backgrounds can succeed. Join Louisiana’s former apprenticeship director, Joseph Hollins, as he talks with the people leading State Apprenticeship Agencies across the country. They discuss the first steps in developing a Registered Apprenticeship and when to connect with their state’s apprenticeship agency. They also cover strategies for expanding programs for both in-school and out-of-school youth and share what makes each state stand out.
