About this Podcast:
What if the future of college isn't a campus—but the workplace? What if your job wasn't something you did instead of earning a degree, but where you earned it? Apprenticeship 2.0 explores the people, programs, and ideas challenging how America learns, works, and prepares for the future. Hosted by Reach University President and co-founder, Joe E. Ross, and Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Anastasia Wickham, the show brings together the educators, employers, policymakers, workforce leaders, apprentices, and innovators on the front lines of the apprenticeship movement. We look beyond the buzzwords to ask what's actually working—and what needs to change. How do you build an apprenticeship that can scale? Can work count toward a college degree? Who should pay for it? What can policymakers do to expand access? And as AI transforms the workplace, could apprenticeship offer a new way to prepare people for jobs that don't yet exist? Twice a month, Apprenticeship 2.0 brings you candid conversations about the policies, experiments, successes, failures, and emerging ideas shaping the future of work-based learning. If you're building the next generation of workforce programs, rethinking higher education, shaping public policy—or just trying to understand where work and learning are headed—this is the conversation you need to be part of. Apprenticeship 2.0 is produced by Reach University.
