This week, the nation is celebrating National Apprenticeship Week. However, unlike the fanfare around “Back to School” or “Teacher Appreciation Week,” our local school has been silent in its elevation or celebration of this increasingly popular work-based learning model. Meanwhile, if my teenage boys were in high school in Switzerland, they would have been hearing about apprenticeships for years as a pathway to career opportunity. In the United States, that has not historically been the case, but things may be starting to change.
Colorado is one state where “apprenticeship” is not an unknown term (hence my surprise that I have not heard a peep about it from school). From the early days of General Assembly expanding their unique tech training model to the Denver area.
