CONNECTING EARNING AND LEARNING Apprenticeship: Earn and learn training model that combines work -based learning with related classroom instruction using the highest industry standards. It is a means to formalize work-based learning, so workers know exactly how to progress toward their career goals, and companies know who is on the path toward promotion into new positions or to replace retiring workers.
WHAT CAN EMPLOYERS DO? What can EMPLOYERS do? Prefer certifications as part of the HR screening process for hiring and promoting workers. Ask your education partners to deliver nationally certified students. Provide work-based learning, co-op, internships and apprenticeship opportunities to give students realworld experience. http://www.themanufacturinginstitute.org/
