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?
