New Report: Advancing Pre-Apprenticeship Programming Through National Service

Posted by Service Year Alliance on June 20, 2023

With the recent passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act, billions of new dollars are set to flow into states and local communities in a once in a generation investment in infrastructure, green energy, and healthcare. At the same time, we lack adequate workforce pathways to fill the jobs of the future. New and existing apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs will play a central role in connecting the next generation of workers to these opportunities.

By investing in pre-apprenticeship programming through service years, the next generation will be exposed to various existing and emerging apprenticeship opportunities, bridging a skills gap, diversifying the workforce, and better equipping them with the employability skills they need to succeed in these critical sectors.

To support these efforts, Jobs for the Future, Next100, and Service Year Alliance partnered to develop a report to identify strategies and promising practices to support national service programs interested in aligning and engaging with pre-apprenticeship training.
