Strategy:

• Develop joint programs where apprentices are technically employed by educational partners
• Explore internship-to-apprenticeship pathways

Examples:

• Case Study: The City of Philadelphia partners with the Community College of Philadelphia for its Civil Service Apprenticeship Program, with apprentices enrolled as students and gaining work experience in city departments.
• Tactic: Create a cooperative education program with a local community college, where students alternate between full-time study and full-time apprenticeship work in local government roles.
