| Περίληψη: | Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) play a vital role in the US economy, yet many struggle to find, train, and retain skilled workers--particularly in technology occupations. From 2023 to 2026, the Urban Institute served as an apprenticeship intermediary in North Carolina and South Carolina, working with state apprenticeship agencies and SMB employers to design, launch, and sustain high-quality registered apprenticeship programs. This work, supported by Google.org, focused on helping SMBs overcome common barriers to apprenticeship adoption while building durable pathways into tech careers. This brief describes three ways intermediaries add value, as well as what Urban Institute learned from their work in North Carolina and South Carolina, and action-oriented recommendations for intermediaries. |
