A program in Pennsylvania, the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund, may provide the blueprint for a better way forward for adults looking to continue their education and career.
That pathway can include an apprenticeship program, like the one that Katzin is enrolled in, which offers benefits: academic advising and tutoring, 18 college credits that can be earned on the job, and an accelerated path to an associate’s degree.
By pairing college credits with on-the-clock apprenticeship, students can earn their education degree at a fraction of the cost of a traditional college — and money at the same time.
