Questions & Details

Common questions about downloading and using the Masterclass Workbook.

What is the Masterclass Workbook?

It's a free, 50-page guide that helps CTE educators build apprenticeship-aligned programs. It includes 5 lessons, 15+ templates, case studies, and a 90-day action plan. Everything you need to go from idea to pilot program.

Who is this workbook for?

CTE teachers, coordinators, administrators, and work-based learning leaders. If you're building career pathways for students, this workbook is for you—no prior apprenticeship experience needed.

How long does it take to complete the workbook?

You can use it however you want. Some people work through one lesson at a time. Others jump straight to the templates they need. The 90-day action plan is there if you want a structured timeline.

What if my school doesn't have apprenticeship partners yet?

That's totally fine. The workbook includes step-by-step tools to help you find Registered Apprenticeship sponsors, connect with workforce boards, and reach out to employers in your area.

Does this work for all CTE programs, or just certain pathways?

It works for any pathway. The examples focus on healthcare and teaching, but the tools, templates, and strategies apply to construction, IT, manufacturing, early childhood education, and more.

“A launchpad for programs, partnerships, and pathways that work better for students and communities.”
