Apprenticeship comes to campus

From Urban: “A consortium of South Carolina historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), the Urban Institute, and businesses forged an innovative collaboration. The HBCU consortium developed and launched a degree-based apprenticeship program in secure software development. The program will empower students to gain meaningful paid work experience while they advance toward a degree, link employers to a diverse and often-overlooked pool of promising talent, and serve as an example throughout the workforce and education systems for bridging the gap between the classroom and workplace.”
