JFF Helps JEVS Build and Scale Apprenticeship Pathways

This Jobs for the Future case study demonstrates how apprenticeship programs can create practical pathways to stable employment for individuals who may not benefit from traditional education or training models alone. For Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) practitioners, it offers an example of how workforce partnerships can help participants earn wages while learning skills connected to real job opportunities. The resource is especially valuable for agencies interested in expanding career-focused strategies that lead to long-term employment. The case study also shows how organizations can scale apprenticeship models through employer engagement, structured support, and clear advancement opportunities, giving TANF staff ideas for building stronger employment pathways for the families they serve.
