Four Things States are Doing to Advance Apprenticeships

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week, a new administration and Congress are contemplating the next chapter in federal policy around apprenticeships. The past decade has borne witness to the undeniable popularity of the apprenticeship model. The number of active registered apprentices across the country has surged by more than 60% since 2011 and now stands at nearly 670,000. Across the last decade, cohorts of new apprentices are increasing at an average annual rate of 8%. While new federal investments have increased, much of the most impactful action around apprenticeships has occurred at the state level. As documented in a new report from the nonprofit Apprenticeships for America, the rate of new state legislation that references apprenticeships more than doubled over the past decade. This year alone, 16 governors mentioned apprenticeships in their state-of-the-state addresses.
