Apprenticeships are something we should be talking more about, to remedy that, I had Kelly Vedi from the Avocational substack on the podcast.
We explore the significance of apprenticeships as a viable training strategy in the U.S., contrasting them with traditional education models. She outlines the historical context, current state, and cultural differences surrounding apprenticeships, emphasizing their potential benefits for both employers and young people.
We discuss barriers to expanding apprenticeship programs, the role of AI, and the social aspects of vocational training compared to college education.
