apprenticeship

A report, released Tuesday, outlines next steps for a training system that would model what’s already in place in Switzerland.

There are currently about 20,000 registered apprentices in the state. And last month Indiana was awarded $1.2 million in federal funding to expand apprenticeship programs.

Students across the state will have greater access to youth apprenticeship programs through nearly $2.5 million in new grants.

About 43 percent of apprentices who started a joint union-employer program between 2010 and 2015 finished their program and got a credential, according to the report.

The project is part of a partnership between the South Bend-Elkhart Regional Partnership and the University of Notre Dame, born out of a $42.4 million grant from the Lilly Endowment.

The trend towards youth apprenticeships in Indiana is continuing despite challenges from the pandemic as a program in northern Indiana recently received $500,000 to continue paid career training for high schoolers.
