Learning Lab 1: How do you ensure your apprenticeship is sustainable? As Dr. Rebecca Lake, former dean of apprenticeship at Harper College says, you have to “cost everything out,” with an eye toward understanding how many apprentices make a program sustainable. In the first of three sessions discussing the funding and sustainability of apprenticeship in California, members of the ASN community of practice will consider the actual cost of running an apprenticeship program. Participants worked with peers to assemble an accurate cost of running their own programs, learn how their experience compares to others in the field, and uncover the point at which a program becomes sustainable. Hosted by Grow Apprenticeship California.
Presenters: Frank Gerdeman, Director, Lake Tahoe Community College and Josef Preciado, Director, California Apprenticeship Initiative, ARC Workforce Development

 

Highlights

As the state charts its post-pandemic economic recovery, the expansion of pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships could contribute to rapid up-skilling and re-employment across demand industries and — with intention — a more equitable distribution of training and employment opportunities. High Road Alliance (HRA) conducted an online survey of apprenticeship practitioners across California, followed by a series of Peer Learning Circles, to identify effective practices and collective interest in growing the field of equitable apprenticeship. In this webinar, you will get an overview of the issues and opportunities identified through this process and hear how you can actively participate in a network of leaders doing the important work of shaping equitable pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs.
