Promoting Pre-Apprenticeship Opportunities for High School Students, 2018. Report to the Legislature
Wallace, Rebecca
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
House Bill 2685 (2018) required the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to solicit input from organizations with expertise in registered pre-apprenticeship programs, registered youth apprenticeship programs, and employer-based pre-apprenticeship and youth apprenticeship programs. Based on their input, the legislation required OSPI to submit a report with recommendations for: (1) Improving alignment between college-level vocational courses at higher education institutions and high school curriculum and graduation requirements; (2) Identifying and removing barriers that prevent the wider exploration and use of registered pre-apprenticeship and registered youth apprenticeship opportunities for students; and (3) Increasing awareness among teachers, counselors, students, parents and guardians, principals, administrators, and the public about the opportunities offered by registered pre-apprenticeship and registered youth apprenticeship programs. This report reflects information collected in partnership with the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), Labor and Industries (L&I), and the Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council (WSATC), and stakeholders of the partner agencies.
