Kelly Vedi at NewAmerica.org reports that after investing over $4 billion in Career Education Programs in recent years, California Governor Gavin Newsom is concerned that there is “not a cohesive, connective tissue, not a compelling narrative that drives a vision and drives a focus forward.”  To address this, Newsom has directed the State’s top Education and Workforce Leaders to create a Master Plan for career education in California.  To create this type of cohesive and connected experience, State Leaders should look to youth Apprenticeship.  When structured well, these programs provide students with paid on-the-job training, related classroom instruction and college credits - preparing them for careers or further education.
