Study Trip Germany
Next-Level Apprenticeships: Strategies for Building and Improving Your Program
Location: Southern Germany
Unfilled high-tech jobs are an obstacle to profitability and productivity in the manufacturing industry. More and more organizations are establishing apprenticeship programs, in order to implement a sustainable workforce development strategy.
Therefore, the Transatlantic Apprenticeship Dialogue was created to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience between Germans and Americans involved in apprenticeships. Developed by the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest (GACC Midwest), this is a new platform to enhance professional dialogue on a personal level.
This program is intended for company representatives, policy makers and educators who are involved or would like to become involved in the building, growing, or improving of apprenticeship programs. This study trip to Germany will provide you with the opportunity to learn from your German Industry counterparts regarding best practices and implementation methods for apprenticeship programs while building lasting contacts and friendships abroad. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy through the European Recovery Program.
