In 2022-2023 the American Council on Germany implemented a series of immersive study tours to Germany to learn about Germany’s dual vocational education system. On May 9 during the U.S. Department of Labor’s first National Youth Apprenticeship Week, the ACG held a conversation with professionals who participated in these programs to hear about the lessons learned and best practices and what they are now striving to implement as a result in their states and communities.
