Apprenticeship Programs ‘Are Becoming More Popular As An Alternative To’ College

Jessica Dickler at CNBC reports Apprenticeship Programs are becoming more popular as an alternative to college.  Over a decade, the number of Registered Apprentices rose 64%, according to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Labor.  Amid the heightened demand for Workers, rising cost of tuition and growing student loan burden, more would-be students are choosing career-connected pathways over four-year colleges, according to recent reports.  As enrollment falls, alternatives such as Apprenticeship Programs are quietly gaining steam, particularly for families anticipating the sticker shock of a college education, which currently averages around $53,430, including tuition, fees and room and board, at private colleges and $40,550 at public colleges for the 2022-23 school year, according to the College Board.
