Why don’t we hear about more apprenticeship opportunities for students? Today we’ll discuss the development of apprenticeships and cover what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to funding, planning, executing, and regulating these programs, and why they're so hard to come by. Digging in deep we’ll cover the barriers to apprenticeships and how we can engage and support local employers in order to create more long-lasting apprentice programming. Despite the administrative challenges, creating pathways to trades is crucial for the health, longevity, and sustainability of local communities and the future workforce.   Connect with us:  Visit pasadena.edu/community/economic-workforce-development  Email: [email protected] Facebook: @PCC EWD LinkedIn: @PCCEWD Instagram & Twitter: @pccewd    Find the transcript to this episode here To connect with us about the podcast visit our website Please be sure to subscribe, rate and review us on apple podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcasts!
