Game Changer: What the Sports World Can Teach Us About Youth Career Opportunities

Workforce development can learn a lot from the sports industry. Youth sports participation is a foundation of childhood for many Americans—parents encourage it, kids enjoy it, and schools support it. And though few youth athletes go pro, this early introduction to the field benefits professional sports teams with highly trained athletes and large, loyal consumer bases.

How can we apply this type of talent development model to youth apprenticeship programs in industries such as IT, health care, advanced manufacturing, or business? Listen to this webinar recording from JFF’s Center for Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning to discover how to adapt youth apprenticeship into a winning proposition for participants, schools, and businesses.
