Tesfai, Lul
New America
Community colleges have a long history of developing and delivering training that is responsive to the needs of regional employers, both large and small, and providing students with affordable pathways to postsecondary credentials of value. Building high-quality apprenticeship programs requires expertise in both areas. This brief presents an overview of the ways in which community colleges, in partnership with employers and other stakeholders, can support various apprenticeship training models, the tradeoffs to each model, and steps and strategies for building high-quality apprenticeships that culminate in postsecondary credentials and/ or degrees.
