 Youth apprenticeship is an excellent pathway to careers, to quality work, to post-secondary education, and that it should be regarded as something to integrate into learning experiences. We want to put in place youth apprenticeships that lead to high-demand, high-skill careers for students. We're not looking to create youth apprenticeships for obtaining the entry level. We want students to start at the entry level and grow. If I were to look back on my communication skills, responsiveness, time management, last year to when I first started to now, completely different of how efficient I am. The youth apprenticeship program provided students like me with an opportunity to grow out of my conference zone and achieve goals that no one else in their family has achieved so far. One of the people I came in contact with during the youth apprenticeship program was actually the person that set me up with the job. With the youth apprenticeship program, I would get paid to work. I wouldn't have to worry about any student loans. And it was the best of both worlds for me that I ended up liking what I'm doing here. We are able to bring a big tent, knitting in the social support sources that young people have access to and making sure we're able to leverage some of those dollars for them to stay on path and on course towards their ultimate career. Look at apprenticeships is one of the ways that we can build a more inclusive and diverse pipeline. It's not always about the degree that you have, this concept of potential over pedigree. The youth apprenticeship increases the numbers of potential workers. So we need to find a new source of human beings and younger people are part of that new source. As a company, asking ourselves a question all up and down the chain of, you know, from hiring to promoting to, frankly, forming teams the question we're asking is, are we doing this in such a way that everyone has a shot? A lot of what our design is all about is creating these hubs and these connecting people to take the load off industry who has this need, knows what they need. Everything is an opportunity for further development of new programs. You have to have a strong intermediary who can keep all those disparate pieces working together in that collaborative space. As we expand the diversity pool of the people we're working with to build these systems out everybody's input is just really key and important if we want to move to the next level with our programs. Now our partnership looks much more like, hey, these are our shared values. These are our shared goals. How do we get there together? That's a transition that I think is going to be really valuable and positions our work to create the sort of outcomes that we want to see as a community.
