Credit for prior learning is among the hottest educational issues facing today’s academic institutions. Leading colleges across the country are joining the Registered Apprenticeship-College Consortium (RACC) to facilitate the transfer of the U.S. Department of Labor’s rigorous Registered Apprenticeship completion certificate towards college credit among RACC members. This innovative partnership, launched by Vice President Biden during the American Association of Community Colleges annual meeting in April, supports increasing articulation between Registered Apprenticeship program sponsors and colleges. The goal is to create a new pipeline of degree seekers and enhance the competitiveness of American industry by enlarging the pool of highly trained workers that possess in-demand skills and competencies. Join the U.S. departments of Labor and Education in this webinar discussion about the RACC to learn more about the consortium and how your community college can join.
Date: May 20, 2014 Time: 3 p.m. EST Duration: 90 minutes
