Pay for Success in Action: Arkansas’s Manufacturing Apprenticeship Model will explore how Arkansas is emerging as a national leader in linking pay-for-success with Registered Apprenticeships in manufacturing. Zach Boren, SVP at Apprenticeships for America, will moderate a conversation with Lonnie Emard, National Director at Apprenticely, and Cody Waits, Executive Director of Arkansas Workforce Connections, to unpack why this outcomes-based model was adopted, how it works in practice through the U.S. Department of Labor’s American Manufacturing Apprenticeship Incentive Fund (AMAI).

What You’ll Learn

• How pay for success works in an apprenticeship context, including which outcomes are incentivized

• Why the U.S. Department of Labor and the state of Arkansas chose a pay-for-success model to strengthen manufacturing workforce development

• How intermediaries and employers can engage in and benefit from this initiative
