Overview
College isn’t for everyone. It’s time to challenge the status quo and embrace the potential of apprenticeships in tech, healthcare, finance, and more—which can provide a sustainable pathway to economic opportunity.
For decades, college has been the only respectable way to access the world of work, despite paralyzing tuition and a dire lack of practical
skills that has left 40 percent of college graduates underemployed, unfulfilled, and struggling to repay student loan debt.
Education and workforce expert Ryan Craig explores how a modern apprenticeship system will allow students and job seekers to jump-start their careers by learning while they earn—ultimately leading to greater workforce diversity and geographic mobility.
With a deep dive into the history behind America’s outdated college system, Craig reveals:
The origins of the student debt crises and admissions scandals
Why apprenticeships are an effective pathway to career opportunity
What America can do to catch up with other nations making apprenticeship opportunities broadly available
Where students and job seekers can go to land an apprenticeship
Featuring a directory of US apprenticeship programs by industry and location, Apprentice Nation is an accessible blueprint for a country where young Americans of all backgrounds can launch careers in a variety of in-demand fields. With just a few common sense changes to education and workforce development, anapprentice nation will put the American Dream within reach—for everyone.
