The “Expanding the Spectrum of Opportunity with Apprenticeships and Work-Based Learning” panel from the ASU+GSV Summit highlights how hands-on learning experiences can better align education with workforce needs. Panelists discuss the importance of paid, real-world experience in building job-ready skills, the challenges of scaling access and employer engagement, and the need to close gaps between education and labor market demands, ultimately positioning work-based learning as a key strategy for expanding opportunity and improving career outcomes.
