To advance this important public sector apprenticeship work, ILG
and its grant implementation partners are establishing a
cross-sector
Bridge Public Sector Apprenticeship Statewide Advisory
Panel (SAP) comprised of key leaders and
practitioners of registered apprenticeships. The Bridge SAP will
bridge the gap between employers, learners, and training
providers in local government.
The SAP supports the expansion of non-traditional Registered
Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) in cities, counties and special
districts across California. This Advisory Panel brings together
experts from local government, community colleges, labor,
philanthropy, the state, and workforce development to guide
implementation of public sector RAPs throughout California, help
address barriers and challenges, and create long-term strategies
for sustainable public sector RAPs.
Mission
Create robust and sustainable non-traditional apprenticeship
programs that address the evolving workforce needs of cities,
counties, and special districts across the state.
Goals
- Advise on program implementation for public sector RAPs in
non-traditional local government occupations.
- Identify barriers to and opportunities for successful
apprenticeship expansion at the policy, regulatory, and
institutional level.
- Strengthen connections between local government employers,
training providers, workforce boards, labor, and state partners.
- Support ILG and its implementation partners in developing
sustainable solutions and technical assistance resources to
support local government employers implementing RAPs.
- Support the broader statewide ecosystem of apprenticeship
-related organizations as they develop policies, programs and
resources for local government employers.
