YUPRO Placement serves as the intermediary for the pre-apprenticeship. That means AWS doesn’t have to do the participant recruiting and screening, community colleges don’t need to act like a staffing company, and workforce nonprofits don’t have to be an employer of record
Interesting stuff to know about hidden friction in the apprenticeship landscape. There are multiple ecosystem nodes, and so be strategic about which nodes own which responsibilities.

Paul Lundy has a 12 week apprenticeship program for typewriter repair at Bremerton Typewriter.
At our shop we know that we'll age out. Everyone does. To seed the typewriter field we have a 12 week apprentice training program. Hopefully a few get the repair mojo and open up their own shop. Or just become more adept at the hobby. I can only hope once the time comes we have someone willing.

Appendix C: The Art of Note-Taking in My Apprenticeship (1926)
Paul breaks apprenticeship down into four pedagogies in a mostly linear sequence: 1. modeling, 2. scaffolding, 3. fading the teacher role, 4. coaching.
Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have long seen vocational education as a pathway to the middle class, and an effective system to provide students with the skills they’ll need to further their career
Rather important point to make, especially from a US perspective. Having Swiss friends going to vocational training (in an "apprenticeship" model) has taught me quite a bit about the difference it can make. That system is far from perfect. Friends and relatives have complained that the choice of a path was too early (12yo, if memory serves). And there have been times when Swiss unemployment levels have gone up quickly. Still, it's a useful reminder that a hyperindustrialized economy can give vocational training its due. There's also a connection to craftsmanship. Germany is really wellknown for it and I've heard FabLab experts associate this with hisorical events such as WWII. Yet it doesn't sound like Switzerland's neutral status has differentiated it from Germany in this respect since some Swiss industries have very similar features.
In order to inform the development and implementation of effective online learning environments, this study was designed to explore both instructors' and students' online learning experiences while enrolled in various online courses. The study investigated what appeared to both support and hinder participants' online teaching and learning experiences.
The authors discuss the issue of community and engagement in online graduate programs. They carried out a small case study and used a Cognitive Apprenticeship Model to examine a successful program in Higher Education. They found that students feel too many online classes are just reading and writing, regurgitating rather than applying, and lack sufficient connection with the instructor and with other students, They recommend some strategies to fix that, but admit that more work is needed. 9/10

apprenticeship has been treated as a historically significant object more often than most educational phenom-ena
Similar to the comment below, what is apprenticeship as an educational phenomena? Why is it different than what most of us understand apprenticeship as? I agree that it this term has taken on too many meanings in educational literature.
