Central to AFA’s mission is to develop the field of apprenticeship practitioners. We accomplish this by bringing together individuals and organizations in our Communities of Practice. These cross-functional groups convene experts, advocates, and practitioners from across the apprenticeship ecosystem to share knowledge, generate innovative ideas, and solve apprenticeship’s most pressing problems.
Communities of Practice (CoPs) are groups whose members share common concerns and passions and are eager to improve their personal practice – and the broader ecosystem – through peer connection. These Communities provide a venue for practitioners to share ideas, ask questions, and support each other. Both learning and direct action are central to CoPs, and members use the knowledge they gain to generate tangible outcomes.
AFA operates five Communities of Practice: the Business-Led Apprenticeship Solutions Team, our Consulting Network, and three sector-specific groups.
Our Communities of Practice do much more than just network. These groups are geared towards innovation and action. Members engage in the following ways:
Our Communities of Practice are open to AFA members. (If you are not yet an AFA member, you can sign up here.)
