| 摘要 | Key Points We examined the skills demanded in job postings for more than 23 million openings in 2016. We found, based on this skills analysis, that there is significant opportunity to expand apprenticeships in the United States;. The number of job openings covered by expanding apprenticeships could be multiplied eightfold, to roughly 3.2 million;. Many of these additional opportunity areas unlock higher-value careers, offering more than a 20% salary premium, compared with traditional apprenticeship occupations; and Read the full PDF. Introduction Apprenticeships are one of the few bipartisan ideas in the realm of workforce development, promising an alternative way of training skilled workers without requiring higher education. Instead of accumulating debt, students get to “earn while they learn.” President Obama offered tens of millions of dollars in grants to expand innovative apprenticeship programs, and President Trump recently issued an executive order making it easier for businesses to apply for apprenticeship approvals. Yet, while apprenticeships are a common part of the employment landscape in Europe, they represent a relatively small number of jobs in the United States. There were only 410,000 active civilian apprentices in 2016, a small fraction of the 23.4 milling job postings that year. And that is after decades of widespread agreement across the political spectrum about the effectiveness of apprenticeships and the desirability of expanding them. This analysis, conducted by Burning Glass Technologies and the Managing the Future of Work Project at Harvard Business School, is designed to answer a basic question about apprenticeships: What is the true scope or potential for apprenticeships in the U.S. economy? Armed with this analysis, employers can then pursue a targeted strategy for expanding apprenticeship into more occupations, especially those areas where they see a shortage of middle skills talent. We hope this research inspires more questions: If business leaders and policymakers are committed to making apprenticeships more available, how many positions could be created? What are the characteristics of the occupations that lend themselves easy to apprenticeships? How might apprenticeships help close the skills gap for employers and open up opportunities for average Americans in jobs that provide rising living standards? Read the full report. |
