  • Why Apprenticeships WORK—Now More Than Ever

    Why Apprenticeships WORK—Now More Than Ever
    Jan 27 2026

    In this inaugural episode of Apprenticeships WORK!, we launch a national conversation on why apprenticeships are one of the most powerful, proven strategies for building a skilled, future-ready workforce.

    In this candid discussion, the Dave Reaves, Chairman, Clean Technology Training Trust shares leadership insights on the current workforce landscape, the growing demand for employer-driven talent pipelines, and why apprenticeships are delivering results for businesses, workers, and communities alike. The conversation explores how apprenticeships align education and industry, reduce time-to-fill for critical roles, and create equitable, earn-and-learn pathways into high-quality careers.

    Listeners will hear reflections on leadership, cross-sector collaboration, and the role of labor, employers, and education partners in scaling what works. The episode also addresses common misconceptions about apprenticeships, what it takes to move from pilot programs to sustainable systems, and why this moment demands bold, coordinated action.

    Whether you’re an employer, policymaker, workforce leader, educator, or labor partner, this episode sets the foundation for understanding why apprenticeships aren’t a trend—they’re a solution.
