Strategy:

• Work with civil service commissions to create apprenticeship-specific job classifications
• Ensure these classifications align with existing career ladders

Examples:

• Case Study: San Francisco's "9910 Public Service Trainee" classification allows for apprenticeships across multiple departments without conflicting with existing civil service positions.
• Tactic: Develop a "Public Service Apprentice" classification with clear pathways to permanent positions upon program completion. This classification can be used across various departments and roles.
