Creating an Industry-Academia Partnership to Prepare the Workforce of the Future

Abstract

This paper details development of a new Engineering Apprenticeship program designed to prepare engineering graduates to embrace technology, innovation, and the development of multidisciplinary solutions to current industry challenges. The program was developed collaboratively between university and industry partners to address gaps in terms of both evolving skillset requirements for graduates and students' lack of awareness of the diverse range of career opportunities. Highlights of the collaborative program design along with outcomes and lessons learned from the first year of implementation are presented.
