Apprenticeships: Learning at Work

Apprenticeships predate the modern university by centuries. But as concerns about both college costs and value mount, many higher ed institutions are looking to apprenticeships—all of which involve earning while learning—as affordable, efficient pathways for learners seeking reliable, well-paying careers in everything from nursing to cybersecurity.
