Online
Wednesday 18 Mar 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Event Information
Apprenticeship degrees are a hot topic. But many states are still working on how to bring together higher education and apprenticeships. Join AFA and Education Northwest for a webinar exploring how research can drive progress to do just that. Drawing on Education Northwest’s work in Washington State, this session will cover how research informs solutions to create stronger, credit-bearing pathways for registered apprentices and postsecondary students.
Hear from state leaders in Washington and other states about policy tools and practical solutions, and the research that underpins these approaches. Attendees will see how this evidence has informed collaborative discussions and guided practical strategies for designing pathways that benefit learners, employers, and institutions alike.
Whether you are a practitioner, advocate, or policymaker, this interactive webinar will leave you with practical tools to help embed apprenticeships in higher education systems.
