Apprenticeship is a growing strategy for connecting more workers with the skills they need to get jobs. ODEP's efforts in apprenticeship promote inclusive program models that fulfill employer needs by attracting a diverse array of candidates, including people with disabilities. ODEP released its #ApprenticeshipWorks Guides for Youth, Educators/Service Providers and Business, which introduce each stakeholder group to the benefits and opportunities of inclusive apprenticeship. ODEP published a blog about apprenticeships and disability, titled “Apprenticeship and the American Dream.” The blog examines the many advantages of apprenticeships in today's economy for both employers and employees, including individuals with disabilities.
