Finally, we have private apprenticeships, which is what I’ve been driving towards over the last twenty years. Private apprenticeships take place outside the school system and with minimal to no government involvement, meaning there’s less chance for bureaucracy and waste. (Depending on where you are in the country, private programs may not be able to call themselves “apprenticeships” unless they are registered and may go by a different name.)
Nexstar member companies do private apprenticeships all the time, it’s just not simply called that.
