 As a state, we know that we need to give all our colleagues an opportunity to prosper in the economies we have. Through the apprenticeship model, we give students an opportunity to learn and earn at the same time. Some companies gain because they get a talent in workforce. Yes, they commit to training and skilling, but they also are producing and profitability. From a state perspective, I think there needs to be an umbrella or an approach that supports local initiatives and gives them resources and programming technical assistance so they can be responsive to their business, to their job seekers, to their learners, and to their communities. So it helps when we have that statewide perspective and support for an apprenticeship model for young people. Having the resources and the support from the governor, as well as the Department of Education, the Department of Higher Education, and the Department of Labor all moving in the same direction that we value this alternate career path for young people to be successful in the role of work.
