Hello Program Management colleagues,
If you are interested in posing questions about or offering your input into pre apprenticeship programs, you are invited to join this discussion in the Career Pathways COP taking place starting next Tuesday, June 23.
"Are you an Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) funded provider? Interested in pre-apprenticeships? We want to hear from you!
In 2017, the Office of the President issued the Executive Order on Expanding Apprenticeship in America. As a result, ED and partners have been looking at what makes successful apprenticeship programs. Using pre-apprenticeships to establish on-ramps to apprenticeship programs is one approach to expanding their reach to involve more Americans, including adult learners."
Your ideas are welcome!

ED Request for Member Input on Pre-Apprenticeship Programming
Are you an Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) funded provider? Interested in pre-apprenticeships? We want to hear from you!
In 2017, the Office of the President issued the Executive Order on Expanding Apprenticeship in America. As a result, ED and partners have been looking at what makes successful apprenticeship programs. Using pre-apprenticeships to establish on-ramps to apprenticeship programs is one approach to expanding their reach to involve more Americans, including adult learners.
On behalf of ED, Luminary Labs is designing online resources to support adult educators in creating high-quality pre-apprenticeship programs. You may have read about Luminary Labs' outreach to members in October 2019. To better inform this work, Luminary staff want to hear your thoughts on what information would be helpful for providers looking to design a pre-apprenticeship, and what existing resources may be most useful.
On June 23-25, LINCS member and Luminary Labs Senior Associate, Eden Baker, will be joining us here to ask about your experiences with pre-apprenticeships. Even if you have never worked with pre-apprenticeships, Eden and I will be exploring the topic to help you think about what role they might play in your program's future. If you're not familiar with pre-apprenticeship, I encourage you to check out the elements of a quality pre-apprenticeship program and case studies at apprenticeship.gov.
Mark your calendars and this thread to join us in conversation about this valuable on-ramp to making apprenticeships work for your learners. Our conversation with Eden will be on-going over the three days, and you are welcome to join us at any time with your responses, experiences, and ideas. Eden will have the first question posted on Tuesday, June 23rd by 9:00AM EST. We look forward to your participation.
Best,
