Strategy:

• Create pathways for apprentices to transition into permanent positions
• Design programs that allow credit for apprenticeship experience in civil service exams

Examples:

• Case Study: The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's Utility Pre-Craft Trainee program serves as a pre-apprenticeship, preparing participants for civil service exams and apprenticeship opportunities.
• Tactic: Implement a point system where apprenticeship completion provides additional points on relevant civil service exams, similar to veteran's preference points.
