Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ launched the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship (PAYA), a multi-year, multi-stakeholder initiative to connect, expand, and strengthen the field of youth apprenticeship in October 2018. Since then, with PAYA’s support, partners in communities and states across the U.S. have implemented strategies to start and grow youth apprenticeship programs across a range of industries, including information technology, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, finance, and education.

Due to the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 crisis–and the stark inequities the crisis has both revealed and exacerbated–youth apprenticeship is taking on even greater importance as a strategy for promoting a more inclusive economic recovery. To explore practical strategies for implementing and growing youth apprenticeship programs to support more equitable education and employment outcomes for youth, and to kick off the next two-year phase of the PAYA initiative, Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ hosted Youth Apprenticeship Summit 2020: Pathways to Inclusive Economic Renewal on October 13-15, 2020.
