Promising Leaders Apprenticing in the Care Economy (PLACE)

Description: This workshop will explore three rapidly growing apprenticeships in the youth-facing care economy and how FHI 360 is expanding these opportunities across multiple states. Supported by the Department of Labor, the program offers members the chance to enroll new or current workers. What sets these apprenticeships apart is their focus on allowing individuals with lived experience to "pay it forward," using trauma-informed practices and positive youth development principles that support a whole-child approach, unlike traditional trades. Participants will also learn how they or their partner organizations can get involved at little or no cost.
