How Regions Can Lead in Workforce Innovation: Building Apprenticeship Programs that Work with JFF’s Melissa MacGregor
In this episode, I sit down with Melissa MacGregor from Jobs for the Future (JFF) to talk about something that keeps coming up in our conversations with regional manufacturing leaders: how do we actually build stronger apprenticeship pathways that meet both worker and industry needs? Melissa brings deep experience and a practical perspective to the table. We get into the nuts and bolts of what makes a "quality job," how registered apprenticeships are structured, and what regional leaders can do to support them,even if they’re starting from scratch.
Melissa also shares some hard-earned lessons from the field, including the real barriers that stall progress and where she sees opportunities for systemic change. If you’re wondering how to move from talk to implementation when it comes to workforce development, this conversation offers a grounded and honest look at what it really takes. Thanks to Melissa and JFF for their exceptional work and for partnering with AMCC to bring about more collective impact for American workers and businesses!
