Introduction to Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are a structured training program where individuals learn a skilled trade alongside an experienced professional. It is a proven strategy to improve labor force participation, especially amongst youth and young adults with disabilities. However, CAPE-Youth research shows that apprenticeships for Y&YAD are underutilized and that state policymakers play an essential role in promoting and expanding inclusive apprenticeship opportunities.
