The new-collar workforce focuses on skills gained through apprenticeships, CTE certifications, and hands-on training rather than traditional degrees. Apprenticeships, in particular, are essential, offering paid, on-the-job learning while meeting industry-specific needs. These programs make careers in various industries accessible to the youth by closing skills gaps and providing continuous learning. Many companies now offer apprenticeships, helping create diverse, adaptable workers without the traditional four-year degrees. Learn how to support the youth: our "new-collar" workforce.
