Listen to the Podcast

Hosts Michael Horn and Jeff Selingo sit down for a discussion with Mitchell Harp, Dean of Apprenticeship Programs at Trident Technical College, and Pierre Dubuc, CEO of OpenClassrooms, about the role community colleges play in increasing enrollment and participation in apprenticeships.

“Our primary goal in the apprenticeship office is to make it very easy for the employers to participate. We understand we can’t do an apprenticeship without them, and they are very busy people. So as a community college, we not only provide the job-related education for the apprenticeship, but we also help them design the apprenticeship to suit their needs,” said Harp.
