College isn't for everyone. It's time to challenge the status quo and embrace the potential of apprenticeships in tech, healthcare, finance, and more--which can provide a sustainable pathway to economic opportunity.

For decades, college has been the only respectable way to access the world of work, despite paralyzing tuition and a dire lack of practical

skills that has left 40 percent of college graduates underemployed, unfulfilled, and struggling to repay student loan debt.

Education and workforce expert Ryan Craig explores how a modern apprenticeship system will allow students and job seekers to jump-start their careers by learning while they earn--ultimately leading to greater workforce diversity and geographic mobility.

With a deep dive into the history behind America's outdated college system, Craig reveals:

  • The origins of the student debt crises and admissions scandals

  • Why apprenticeships are an effective pathway to career opportunity

  • What America can do to catch up with other nations making apprenticeship opportunities broadly available

  • Where students and job seekers can go to land an apprenticeship

    Featuring a directory of US apprenticeship programs by industry and location, Apprentice Nation is an accessible blueprint for a country where young Americans of all backgrounds can launch careers in a variety of in-demand fields. With just a few common sense changes to education and workforce development, anapprentice nation will put the American Dream within reach--for everyone.
