Apprenticeships -- the “Other” College (Minus the Debt)
Apprenticeship vs 4 Year College - What image comes to mind when you hear the word “apprenticeship”? Many people envision a young person in blue overalls, banging a hammer against a metal sheet on a circa-1930’s factory floor. If anything close to that came to mind, it is time to reboot your thinking. While the origins of apprenticeships in the U.S. may have been confined to manufacturing, they are now expanding into professional services and highly skilled fields, such as banking, cybersecurity, accounting, and health care.
