Advance CTE, in partnership with the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship (PAYA), seeks to expand access to quality career and postsecondary pathways for all learners. This June 24 webinar explores ways to more intentionally align Career Technical Education (CTE) and apprenticeship through connected systems, policy, and practice. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of youth apprenticeship programmatic features, learn practical strategies to better connect CTE and youth apprenticeship through policy and practice, and become familiar with the PAYA initiative and how state CTE leaders can leverage network resources to expand access to pathways for all learners.
