Apprenticeship is a proven equitable solution providing a pathway to careers for all, especially enabling youth, veterans, and diverse populations to benefit from high-paying and fulfilling career opportunities without taking on debt often associated with higher education.
Leveraging knowledge gained from experience with apprenticeships in Germany, the foundation is dedicated to supporting their expansion in the United States and fostering opportunities for exchanging knowhow between stakeholders in both countries to further educational opportunities related to apprenticeship. The foundation supports a variety of initiatives to enable the growth of apprenticeships and related educational pathways including providing knowhow and resources to educational institutions, intermediaries, non-profits, government bodies, companies, individuals, and other stakeholders, also through its flagship program, the ICATT Apprenticeship Program.
The ICATT Apprenticeship Program was originally developed by the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest and its member companies. GACC Midwest supports German and American companies in transatlantic business. As part of this mission, GACC Midwest supports companies implementing the ICATT Apprenticeship Program as they seek to develop and retain a loyal, highly-skilled, and technically advanced workforce in the United States.
