APPRENTICESHIPS FOR ALL:  UNLOCKING OPPORTUNITY & ADVANCING EQUITY

In today’s fast-paced economy, on-the-job learning is more important than ever. Apprenticeships offer meaningful opportunities for individuals to earn while they learn, gaining valuable skills and credentials. For employers, inclusive apprenticeships are a strategic approach to building teams that reflect and resonate with the diverse communities we serve. By prioritizing inclusivity, employers can foster innovation, resilience, and stronger connections.

Research by McKinsey shows that diverse companies perform better — Companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 35% more likely to outperform their industry peers. Apprenticeships for all drive economic equity, while also boosting productivity and employee satisfaction.

Navigating the many resources available for designing apprenticeship can be overwhelming. That’s why The Attainment Network has been proud to partner with Emily Griffith Technical College to develop a comprehensive toolkit that guides employers in creating apprenticeship programs for all. This toolkit is structured around six essential design elements and provides a practical approach to continuous improvement and organizational change.
