Advancing US and German Apprenticeship Best Practices
In Germany, apprenticeships are a common pathway to enter the workforce, with over half of young adults pursuing this route and employers collectively engaged in setting learning standards. In the US, apprenticeships are a small and growing share of the workforce and offer employers considerable flexibility in design. Each country’s system takes a different approach, but both ensure apprentices receive high-quality training, employers cultivate needed talent, and that the benefits of apprenticeship extend throughout society. What can we learn from these countries to help advance the success of apprenticeships everywhere?
Please join DIAG USA and the Urban Institute for a discussion of German and US apprenticeship best practices to advance high-quality apprenticeships, featuring Elke Büdenbender, the First Lady of Germany, Eleni Kounalakis, Lieutenant Governor of California, Natalie Palugyai, Secretary California Labor and Workforce Development Agency and other distinguished guests.
