Two-stage evidence-building: document scan followed by targeted state interviews¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The study builds evidence in stages: first scanning available data, literature, and recent studies to produce this overview, then conducting interviews with staff and partners from a subset of states chosen using the report. The authors state, "To inform this report, we scanned available apprenticeship data, as well as literature and insights from recent studies (conducted within the past four years)." Interviews in 2023 will "deepen understanding of state apprenticeship system capacity".
