When a TikTok popped up on my screen promising to pay me while I trained for a successful tech career, I thought it was a scam. But more than a year later, I’m a champion of apprenticeship programs and challenge more companies to embrace them as a way to break down barriers to tech careers and employ talent from non-traditional backgrounds.
Like many, I turned directly to college upon graduating high school because it never occurred to me that there was an alternative path.
