JFF Framework for High-Quality Pre-Apprenticeships

High-quality pre-apprenticeship programs provide structured instruction, hands-on preparation, and targeted support that directly lead into registered apprenticeship programs or career pathways. When embedded in high school settings, pre-apprenticeships serve as powerful bridges to high-wage, high-growth careers, especially for students from underrepresented backgrounds. These programs help drive equity by expanding access to meaningful work-based learning experiences and diversifying the future workforce.

IEConnect aligns with and supports the Jobs for the Future (JFF) Framework for High-Quality Pre-Apprenticeships to ensure strong outcomes and equitable access for all students.
