In this episode of Apprenticeship 2.0, Joe and Kiko chat with Shalin Jyotishi, Founder and Managing Director of New America's Future of Work and Innovation Economy Initiative, where he specializes in the intersection of science, workforce, and industrial policy and their implementation. Together, they discuss the White House's AI action plan and what that could mean for apprenticeship; the potential for AI apprenticeships in secondary and postsecondary education; the role of state workforce development departments and regional and state associations in advancing AI and apprenticeship; and much more.

Shalin can be found on LinkedIn, X, and Bluesky.
