Demonstrated State Apprenticeship Leadership in 2020 Unified/Combined Plans

Demonstrated State Apprenticeship Leadership in 2020 Unified/Combined Plans, Part 1

This Center of Excellence webinar provided technical assistance for leaders in state apprenticeship efforts to hear promising practices on expanding apprenticeship found in the Center’s review of 2020 state plans.

During this three-part webinar series, you hear about four leadership indicators. Part One focused on the establishment of a collaborative state level work group or a committee to the State Workforce Development Board (SWDB) with a focus on apprenticeship expansion. Establishing these groups or committees to the SWDB may indicate a deliberate effort to establish stronger statewide efforts to increase apprenticeship strategies and opportunities that are collaborative and integrated into business and job seeker services within the workforce system.

This webinar is part of Safal Partners' U.S. Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship Technical Assistance (RA TA) Center of Excellence on Strategic Partnerships and System Alignment. The Center provides expert technical assistance on quality Registered Apprenticeship programming and increasing Apprenticeship alignment with America's public workforce system and educational systems.
