It’s a Problem…

• TOO MANY PEOPLE ENTER APPRENTICESHIP 10 YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL

• TOO MANY ADULTS (FAMILY MEMBERS AND PROFESSIONALS) FOSTER A NEGATIVE IMPRESSION OF THE TRADES

• TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE BUY INTO THAT PREJUDICE AND LOOK DOWN ON PHYSICAL WORK

• TOO MANY WORKERS ARE GETTING TOO OLD TO CONTINUE TO DO THE JOBS THAT ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE COUNTRY RUNNING

• ECONOMIC RECOVERY WILL REQUIRE MORE APPRENTICES IN BOTH TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING OCCUPATIONS

How Apprenticeship Can Impact the Publicly Funded Workforce System

ADULT MEASURES

• ENTERED EMPLOYMENT

• EMPLOYMENT RETENTION

• AVERAGE EARNINGS

YOUTH MEASURES

• PLACED IN EMPLOYMENT OR EDUCATION

• ATTAINED DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE

• LITERACY AND NUMERACY GAINS
