Summary
In February 2025, the Partnership to Advance Youth Apprenticeship (PAYA) welcomed 33 new members to its network, which supports high school-age youth in various apprenticeship programs across the country. This expansion aims to enhance collaboration and share best practices among apprenticeship programs, addressing the fragmented nature of youth apprenticeship in the U.S.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This development is significant for registered apprenticeship programs as it strengthens a national network dedicated to fostering quality apprenticeship experiences for youth. By bringing together diverse organizations, PAYA is working to standardize practices and promote effective training pathways.
