What measures of job quality should inform the design of pathways that lead to meaningful careers for young people? While wages have traditionally been one key indicator of quality, JFF’s Quality Jobs Framework offers a broader view, highlighting job characteristics—such as flexibility, autonomy, stability, and advancement opportunities—that all workers deserve.

?? Despite the rancor and polarization of the #PresidentialElection, voters and policymakers across political divides agree on the power of #apprenticeship to open doors to the middle class for learners and workers. ?? JFF’s polling finds that 84 percent of registered voters, including 82 percent of Republicans, favor policy action to expand access to apprenticeship programs—a sentiment echoed by numerous Republican and Democratic governors, the Biden-Harris Administration, and Linda McMahon, President-Elect Donald Trump’s recently announced nominee for Secretary of Education. After #Election2024, voters are looking to policymakers to find common ground to address the education, workforce, and economic issues they care about. Apprenticeship is an effective approach for preparing people for good jobs, building common purpose among employers and educators, and realizing a vision where learners and workers face #NoDeadEnds on the road to opportunity. ?? In honor of #NationalApprenticeshipWeek, JFF urges Congress to pass two bipartisan bills that would enable more people to engage in high-quality apprenticeship experiences: 1?? the Veterans’ Entry to Apprenticeship Act and 2?? the Leveraging and Energizing America's Apprenticeship Programs (LEAP) Act. Read the article ? to learn how these policies could help ensure boundless opportunities for America’s learners and workers. #NAW2024 #DecadeofNAW #ApprenticeshipUSA #veterans #workbasedlearning #federalpolicy

As we conclude #NAW2024, we’re excited to recognize the power of?federal apprenticeships?in creating sustainable, equitable career pathways! Registered Apprenticeship (RA) programs are transforming the workforce, offering Americans real opportunities to thrive in high-demand industries. With support from policymakers and DEI and accessibility initiatives, integrating?government procurement policies?into RA programs could fuel a future of meaningful careers and a stronger, more inclusive economy. https://hubs.la/Q02YpWRd0 #DecadeofNAW
