Colorado's labour and employment department has partnered with non-profit organisation CareerWise Colorado to develop an apprenticeship initiative based on a successful Swiss model. Even with low national unemployment, many jobs are going unfilled as companies search for the talent with the skills they need. The program will be run by the state of Colorado, which is also funding the project. The state hopes the scheme will not only encourage students to stay in education but also address a skills gap, which has left tens of thousands of job openings unfilled.
