Research & Policy Analysis

Drawing lessons from the U.S. and abroad, we will propose structural reforms, apprenticeship standards, incentives, outreach, marketing, and funding mechanisms. Our research will model the phased implementation of required public investments, demonstrating projected gains in earnings, reduced inequality, and skill development.


Advocacy

We'll work tirelessly to demonstrate to federal and state officials how scaling registered apprenticeships can enhance equality of opportunity, workforce diversity,worker pride, productivity, and success pathways This effort will engage many advocates, practitioners, and researchers to push for significant funding and system development.


Grassroots Mobilization

At Apprenticeships for America, we're at the forefront of unleashing the full potential of registered apprenticeships. Join us in widening access to rewarding careers and benefiting millions of American workers. It's time to transform futures and create lasting opportunities. 


American Apprenticeship Network (AAN)

We're creating ANN to unite intermediaries, schools, business leaders, labor representatives, and researchers. The Network will promote apprenticeship benefits at federal and local levels, strengthen support for registered apprenticeships, and serve as a platform for developing and sharing best practices.
