Apprenticeships Widen Career Paths in NM (Part 1)

Jenna Marshall

Apprenticeships, as Jenna Marshall reports in this story for KSFR News, are not very well represented in US employment: Roughly two-tenths of a percent of all workers are apprentices, and those people work mainly in the construction trades. But in New Mexico this seems to be changing thanks to the co-incidence of federal money and state initiatives.

Note: Interviewee Robert Schwartz currently co-directs the Pathways to Prosperity Network, which works with states to synch education programs with labor markets.
