Preparing Our Youth, Preparing Our Future

A Virtual Site Visit to the Charleston Regional Youth Apprenticeships

Join us Oct. 26, 2021 for Preparing Our Youth, Preparing Our Future, a virtual site visit to the Charleston Regional Youth Apprenticeships (CRYA), a national leader in the field of youth apprenticeship. Hosted by Trident Technical College and the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship, the event will showcase the people, partnerships, and policies that have led to the creation and growth of CRYA, as well as key strategies for developing, launching, and scaling apprenticeship programs that expand economic opportunity. Panels will feature perspectives from youth apprentices and their families, education and workforce leaders, champion employers, business associations, and state and federal agencies.

Participants will have a chance to learn from leading practitioners and explore best practices for launching and expanding youth apprenticeship programs with equity and sustainability in mind. Through a mix of panel discussions and virtual networking activities, attendees will begin developing a community of like-minded youth apprenticeship experts from across the US.
