According to a recent article from Elyse Ashburn at Work Shift, the number of apprentices in the US has almost doubled since 2014, while the number of college students has decreased by 12 percent. As apprenticeship programs expand beyond trades to ‘new-collar’ industries, more Americans are seeing the value of taking an apprenticeship to enter into fields like health care, tech and teaching, gaining valuable work experience without incurring debt.The full article provides an overview of both the mindset shift among Americans about the ROI of a college degree and the federal policy goals propelling apprenticeship growth. https://lnkd.in/e-rSyEME (Article quote: Andrew Sezonov)
