ACTE PACE Summit 2024

Registered Apprenticeship ecosystems play a supportive role for CTE students to acquire knowledge combined with paid on-the-job learning, supported by a variety of community partners who provide resources that result in a comprehensive approach that provides a pathway into a career. Through Registered Apprenticeship Program opportunities, students are able to apply what they learn in the classroom to real life work experiences, thus bridging gaps between education and industry. When critical partners are involved, such as chambers of commerce, community-based organizations, social service agencies, and industry partners, students can receive help in breaking down barriers of access.

Through this presentation, participants will learn:
• How Registered Apprenticeship (RA) works and aligns with CTE programs
• How RA benefits students while simultaneously working to solve regional workforce issues through a network of strategic partnerships
• How to develop a partner ecosystem that connects workforce and education partners
• Best practices on building and growing these partnerships through industry examples
