The intersection of Robotics x Labor in critical industries is where reindustrialization will win/lose.

Having scaled systems across air, space, ground, sea, the constraint was the workforce. Too often it’s an afterthought.

Our new @AmerCompass piece argues what must change 👇

[American Swiss Foundation @AmSwissFound]

As the U.S. reindustrializes and AI reshapes the economy, YLC classmates @ashwinl (YL 2024) and @btparton (YL 2024) make the case for a national apprenticeship strategy that connects American workers to the innovation economy, starting with small manufacturers and start-ups.

A love for education and the life-changing impact we can have on communities brings people together, across all cultures. I’m so fortunate that you were able to share your experiences and bring new perspectives back to Kentucky. https://t.co/0khpS4lGHv

We need to change our schools to provide real life skills to our students. That’s what the renowned Swiss apprenticeship program is about. We visited a few sites, all of which were impressive. starting with a Bühler Apprentice Academy (and a real live chocolate factory!) ...

Thanks to @Newsweek for publishing my joint op-ed with @btparton of @CareerWiseUSA making the case for going big on apprenticeships over the next four years!

[Mary Alice McCarthy @McCarthyEdWork]

With the ranks of long-term unemployed rising and the pace of #job creation slowing, we need new strategies to get people back to work. Here are some practical & evidence-based ideas.. #wkdev @newamericaed @heldrichcenter https://t.co/SnTSUwS6OH

[Where We Live @wherewelive]

Plumbers and electricians are essential workers with well-paying jobs. Yet — skilled trades face worker shortages and struggle to recruit young people. Today, we talk about vocational education. Do you work in a skilled trade?

We condemn the violent effort to overturn the certification of the election results in the strongest terms. Our national institutions will hold, but they hold in spite of the president’s continued efforts to undermine our democracy. https://t.co/UyH2QHo6QH

An excerpt from our report on "The Road to 500,000 Apprentices."

"This goal is calling for the system to reach new heights," said @btparton about expanding #apprenticeship in CA. Read the report here: https://t.co/oVjRrjwbLk

[New America Ed @NewAmericaEd]

OUT TODAY: Half a million #apprentices by 2029 isn't as impossible as it sounds. California already has the foundation, and now is the perfect time to build up #apprenticeships while building up communities—and the economy—at the same time: https://t.co/oVjRrjwbLk

[New America Ed @NewAmericaEd]

The idea of renewal is at the heart of what @NewAmerica is about. This is the moment to expand and renew youth #apprenticeship, said @SlaughterAM. #PAYASummit2020

[New America Ed @NewAmericaEd]

Tomorrow is the big day! With COVID-19 shaking up the economy, young people need structured pathways to promising careers. Stay tuned for our updates from the #PAYASummit2020 tomorrow to learn what we are planning for the next phase of our work.
