I tried to get my previous company to start an apprenticeship program. The CEO agreed that it was a good idea, but kept pushing it for well over a year. I left, and it’s doubtful that it’ll ever happen. But I still think it’s a great idea for companies to try it. There are a ton of benefits. But I think the best one is that you get a much longer view of how someone could perform than you’d get with a traditional interview cycle. And interview judges someone at a single point in time. An apprenticeship would be able to determine their trajectory.
