AB  - Apprenticeships, which incorporate real-world situations into the learning process, are seeing a resurgence within the context of higher education. For the last two years, the New York City Job Council has provided a unique opportunity for students from multiple community colleges in the City University of New York (CUNY) to work at partner companies and gain training and working experience while earning college credits to complete their degree programs. 
The authors of this paper participated in a year-long NYC Job Council faculty training program. Initially, this provided the opportunity to revise the formal academic curriculum to include high-value technical industry skills. As the program continues to develop, partner companies have provided further feedback about the soft skills they are most looking for apprentices, including oral and written communication, digital fluency, problem-solving, critical thinking, time management, leadership, and teamwork.  
Two cohorts of students have already completed the apprenticeship program, and it is worth noting that a number of participants within these cohorts have already been extended job offers from the partner companies they worked for during the apprenticeship. The authors plan to continue collaborating closely with the business partners at the CEO Job Council, to gather ongoing feedback about how to better align educational and industry needs to continue improving employment outcomes for CUNY students who participate in the program. Future work will involve in expanding the current apprenticeship model to other A.A.S degree programs and other academic departments as well.
