Trump Apprenticeship Program: Some Answers, Many Questions
Posted on January 16, 2019 Leave a Comment
IRAPs are a sure fire way of devaluing the brand of Apprenticeships. In all developing countries that have a desire to increase apprenticeships, we see “watered down” options that lead to more confusion. This sadly will be the same. It is in essence re badging incumbent worker training with the lack of control and quality assurance that it will bring.
Quantity over quality… I’m so glad that unions and other respected organisations are trying to take an informed stand. I am with you!!
Labor Department information about its new nationwide apprenticeship program has unions and trade groups apprehensive.

Looking for an Alternative to College? U.S. Studies German Apprenticeships – WSJ
Posted on December 29, 2018 Leave a Comment
I love it every time that apprenticeships are in the news in the USA. What I’m sad about is that the USA seems to be constantly looking for the perfect model that will magically change the workforce and employers mind on apprenticeships.
Why O Why do you not just look closer to home. They is some magnificent apprenticeship programs already in existence in the USA. (Traditional and non-traditional).
Why look at models that look and sound good but are embedded in a completely different culture and historical context of workforce.
The USA needs to do what it does well “innovation” look at what an “American Apprenticeship” model can look like within its own cultural and historical context. Look at what the hard working apprenticeship providers both Union and Non-Union are doing.
Looking at the horizon sometimes means you miss the great stuff in front of your nose.
