YOUR VOICE MATTERS 

In 2023, ApprenticeshipPA hosted a number of TownHalls to capture insights, share opportunities, and identify roadblocks necessary to expand an "earn and learn" model of employment across the Commonwealth. Overall, the TownHall discussions identified three (3) important next steps for policymakers and practitioners: 

1. We need to shift all apprenticeships into a jobs-first approach. Embedding a “learning by doing” model in the workplace is a win/win for workers and employers.
2. There needs to be more transparency to shed light and redesign the registration, application development, and approval process for apprenticeships.
3. We need to invest in what’s working. We must scale regional intermediaries and group activities that expand programs and the number of apprentices.
