Project Description:

The Rural Youth Apprenticeship Development Project (RYAD), housed at the Institute for Community Inclusion at the University of Massachusetts Boston, is forming a Learning Collaborative to support 2-3 State and American Indian VR agencies in creating apprenticeship programs for youth with disabilities (ages 16-24) in underserved rural communities in their states. This would include agencies looking to create a new or advance an existing apprenticeship program (including pre-apprenticeships and registered apprenticeships). RYAD will document the implementation of the apprenticeship model and create a toolkit with rural-specific apprenticeship tools and resources.
