Strategy:

• Design apprenticeships around specific projects or initiatives
• Utilize existing provisions for temporary or project-based hiring

Examples:

• Case Study: The City of Boston's BCYF Youth Engagement & Employment division uses project-based youth apprentices to support community initiatives, bypassing some traditional civil service constraints.
• Tactic: Create apprenticeships tied to specific grant-funded projects or time-limited initiatives, allowing for more flexibility in hiring and program design.
