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With a deep dive into the history behind America's outdated college system, Craig reveals:
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.
