Adam Rayes at Indiana Public Media reports on a new study that emphasizes Construction Apprenticeships’ role as a pathway to the Middle Class.  It also says students fare better in Union-affiliated Apprenticeships.  One of Indiana’s biggest employer-only Apprenticeship providers disagrees with that part of the report’s findings - but gives little evidence to back that up.  The report is an analysis of Federal data on Registered Apprenticeships conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois and the Midwest Economic Policy Institute, an Illinois-based Think Tank often derided as “Pro-Union” by its critics.
