You\u2019ll hear how employers, vocational schools, and chambers of commerce work together to train talent through paid, hands-on learning combined with classroom education, and why vocational career paths are treated with the same respect as four-year degrees. You\u2019ll also discover how this model supports low youth unemployment, prepares workers for advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies, and encourages employers to invest in long-term workforce development rather than short-term competition. Tune in to gain insights into what the U.S. could borrow from the German approach to strengthen education-to-career pathways and create more sustainable workforce systems.
