I saw that, but that leaves more questions than answers.
Where is it- in my home town? With what companies? I see my husband's employer/university is a partner college, but he's never heard of it. Who provides the education? What classes? If its classes are at the university, why is it ACE evaluated and not on a college transcript? The class titles you "may" participate in are vague and strange- not college level at all, more like 050 developmental. What kind of stipend and how is that arranged? Is it enough to live on like the Health Corps provide, or is it $200/month for beer and pizza? What about the business attire you see the kids wearing- and where are they at? They are in a group setting, so everyone learns together? Is there a practicum guide for the apprenticeship? In other words, what are these guys learning over this year? If it's sorting mail - forget that. Who are the supervisors? What criteria is used for approving programs for placement? Having a background in creating an apprenticeship program- I will tell you that they are missing HUGE chunks of details here. Who is accrediting and who is supervising the job site?
The website sucks. Digital information takes 2 seconds to provide and modify, there is no excuse for being so vague.
