Summarizing Approaches for Designing Inclusive Apprenticeship Programs

The Urban Institute launched the Research to Support the Partnership for Inclusive Apprenticeship Project to document different approaches to inclusive apprenticeship program design and implementation. The webinar shares key findings from the project, focusing on how a range of partners—an “ecosystem”—can help employers and other apprenticeship sponsors develop inclusive apprenticeship practices at program design, recruitment and initial engagement, and completion. Partners include sponsors, related instruction providers, government agencies (e.g., Vocational Rehabilitation) and state and local workforce development agencies, workforce intermediaries, and community-based organizations. Following the presentation of findings, representatives from different parts of the ecosystem will comment on their experiences developing and promoting inclusive apprenticeship programs.
