How can the learning sciences inform the design of effective modern apprenticeship programs?
Project Description
Policymakers, education institutions, commercial organizations, and workforce development providers are increasingly promoting apprenticeships and other work-based learning programs to address professional and technical skilling needs. Yet, many of these programs act as recruiting pipeline strategies and fail to consider them as learning experiences. While traditional models of apprenticeship offer a foundation for these programs, a revival that considers the many differences between traditional crafts apprenticeship programs and modern ones is needed. Through a study of the world’s largest professional services firm’s apprenticeship program and the experiences of participating apprentices, this study marries lessons learned with learning sciences research to position a Pedagogy of Modern Apprenticeship.
