This report is a review of findings from varied investigative efforts and a set of recommendations for businesses to realize apprenticeship as a workforce development strategy. The study addresses three topics: The value to employer, overcoming the start-up challenge and apprenticeship and equity.

The final section of this paper describes recommendations for exposing more businesses to the value of apprenticeship, moving stakeholders beyond the traditional barriers to apprenticeship and structuring training with intentionality to engage non-traditional populations.
