In March 2022, Turbine welcomed the Job Skills Institute as a customer for California workforce training. This historical relationship was with Turbine Workforce; it was not an Apprentage apprenticeship deployment.
What the Institute offered
The original announcement described bilingual training and workshops in soft skills, leadership, career transition and workplace excellence, plus state-mandated harassment-prevention training. It also described a four-week Job Skills Club with English- and Spanish-language cohorts.
The post noted the team's consulting, bilingual on-site and online facilitation, entrepreneurship education and work with the Latino community. Josh Studl named Celia Garcia and her team as collaborators and described a shared roadmap, without reporting outcomes from it.
Relevance for sponsors
Accessible instruction in a worker's language can help a sponsor make related instruction understandable and usable. Sponsors still need to define the occupation, supervise on-the-job learning and keep each apprentice's progress records.
Apprentage supports that recordkeeping and instruction-coordination workflow. The Job Skills Institute announcement illustrates a bilingual training partnership, not a claim that its learners were Apprentage apprentices.
