The Global Apprenticeship Symposium brings together leaders, practitioners, policymakers, and innovators from around the world to explore what’s working in apprenticeship systems and what needs to change next.

This international gathering is designed to move beyond theory and spotlight real-world approaches to workforce development, system design, equity, and innovation. Expect practical insights, honest conversations, and global perspectives that challenge assumptions and spark collaboration.

GAS is for those shaping the future of apprenticeships, whether at the policy level, within education and training systems, or on the ground with employers and apprentices.
