The "Principles for Equity in Apprenticeship" emphasizes designing apprenticeship programs that integrate equity throughout their structure, from recruitment to support systems, to ensure they cater to diverse workers' needs. Programs, including WERC in Los Angeles, leverage socio-economic and cultural backgrounds as assets, using these unique experiences to enhance apprentices' ability to connect in their roles. Mentorship and continuous feedback are crucial, helping programs to refine and improve while ensuring apprentices transition smoothly into quality jobs that support families . Overall, the principles advocate for leveraging race, ethnicity, and gender as strengths and ensuring that apprenticeships lead to substantial career opportunities, not just jobs.
