5 Takeaways From Democrats’ Historic Night

Apprenticeships: Learning at Work

Apprenticeships predate the modern university by centuries. But as concerns about both college costs and value mount, many higher ed institutions are looking to apprenticeships—all of which involve earning while learning—as affordable, efficient pathways for learners seeking reliable, well-paying careers in everything from nursing to cybersecurity. In the process, they’re reimagining the interplay between higher ed and the workforce and developing fresh ways to deliver experience and credentials of value. Inside Higher Ed’s multipart series, produced with support from Ascendium, explores the people, places and programs shaping the new era of apprenticeships.

Rural Opportunity Through Apprenticeship

From special education classrooms in rural Missouri to manufacturing plants in central New York, apprenticeship programs and their higher ed partners are helping workers earn while they learn, fill critical labor shortages and build careers close to home.

The Apprenticeship (R)Evolution

Once synonymous with hard hats and tool belts, apprenticeships are branching into health care, artificial intelligence, business services, advanced manufacturing and more.

Apprenticeship is trending in the U.S., but it’s had similar moments before and failed to scale. Many experts think this time will be different.
