The Trump administration wants to increase apprenticeships
About this episode
The Trump administration wants to increase domestic manufacturing.
And in addition to tariffs, tax cuts and deregulation, it wants to increase the supply of skilled labor through apprenticeships – to train up workers on the job.
The goal is to reach one million active apprentices.
Are the programs in place now doing enough to make that happen?
NPR’s Andrea Hsu reports.
