Toward Sustainability and Scale: A Playbook for California Apprenticeship Stakeholders and Champions

This toolkit was informed by researchers who: 

• interviewed apprenticeship experts who have built and scaled successful programs, launched intermediaries, and designed systems—from inside and outside of California—to gather their most important lessons;
• participated in California Apprenticeship Initiative webinars, convenings, and events, and hosted a series of convenings with foundation-supported apprenticeship programs to gather experience, lessons, and perspectives on critical aspects of expansion efforts (e.g., funding, intermediaries, COVID-related challenges and responses, policy); and
• drew insights from their work with the U.S. Department of Labor, Jobs for the Future, New America, Urban Institute, and others on apprenticeship expansion, inclusive apprenticeship, and youth apprenticeship.
