Lin Morgan Polk at New America reports the Biden Administration has taken a major step towards strengthening workforce development and creating more equitable pathways to good jobs by issuing an Executive Order on Scaling and Expanding the Use of Registered Apprenticeships in Industries and the Federal Government and Promoting Labor-Management Forums.  The order recognizes an expansion of access to Registered Apprenticeship Programs is crucial to help people access good jobs and gain in-demand skills, while also helping connect employers to a pipeline of qualified, diverse talent.  This action is the kind of leadership needed from the Federal Government to promote equity in Worker Training and improve Workers’ ability to secure good jobs.  Registered Apprenticeship is an “earn while you learn” model that combines on-the-job training with classroom instruction, providing participants a pathway to gain valuable skills while earning a paycheck so they can support themselves and their families.
