Summary

Ryan Craig, author of Apprentice Nation: How the Earn and Learn Alternative to Higher Education Will Create a Stronger and Fairer America and a Managing Director at Achieve Partners, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Ryan discuss America's recent abandonment of the "college for all" approach, why bipartisan agreement on the importance of apprenticeships hasn't translated into their widespread availability, which countries have apprenticeship models worth following, and why the "earn and learn" approach is an effective pathway to career success and the American dream.
