Our Education And Training System Is Not Sufficient The U.S. education and training system is not on pace to meet future workforce demands, with damaging consequences for workers, businesses, and America’s global competitiveness. Academic and industry analyses have shown that the United States is on track to experience a shortage of skilled workers within the next decade, as our economy increasingly requires workers to have some formal education or training after high school. Expanding the share of workers with postsecondary credentials, such as those acquired through apprenticeships, will lead to higher wages and better opportunities for American workers, more productive and profitable American businesses, and a stronger American economy.

Apprenticeships Can Help Meet The Demand For Skilled Workers Apprenticeships are a particularly successful training model, combining classroom education and on-the-job learning. While apprenticeships are widely used in other countries, their reach has so far been limited in the United States. “Workers who complete an apprenticeship make an average of $240,037 ($301,533 including nonwage benefits) more than comparable job seekers in their lifetimes.” Source: Page 9 - Center for American Progress | Training for Success www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education.

It’s a Problem… • TOO MANY PEOPLE ENTER APPRENTICESHIP 10 YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL • TOO MANY ADULTS (FAMILY MEMBERS AND PROFESSIONALS) FOSTER A NEGATIVE IMPRESSION OF THE TRADES • TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE BUY INTO THAT PREJUDICE AND LOOK DOWN ON PHYSICAL WORK • TOO MANY WORKERS ARE GETTING TOO OLD TO CONTINUE TO DO THE JOBS THAT ARE NEEDED TO KEEP THE COUNTRY RUNNING
• ECONOMIC RECOVERY WILL REQUIRE MORE APPRENTICES IN BOTH TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING OCCUPATIONS www.FLDOE.org © 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved.
