,In the United States, apprenticeships are often associated with particular industries like the building trades. But in Switzerland and other parts of Europe, apprenticeships are common in many other industries. In fact, 70% of Swiss high school students participate in that country's apprenticeship program as part of their high school education. Can a similar model work in the U.S.? In this video, a team at Harvard Kennedy School's Project on Workforce discusses recently published research which used data from CareerWise Colorado, an organization that places high school students in two- and three-year apprenticeships, to determine whether such a program could help students and employers in the American labor market. You can read the team's report at ken.sc/apprentice. The Project on Workforce is an interdisciplinary, collaborative project between the Harvard Kennedy School's Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy, the Harvard Business School Managing the Future of Work Project, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The Project produces and catalyzes basic and applied research at the intersection of education and labor markets for leaders in business, education, and policy. The Project’s research aims to help shape a postsecondary system of the future that creates more and better pathways to economic mobility and forges smoother transitions between education and careers. ------------------------- About Harvard Kennedy School: The John F.

,Workers without college degrees are being left behind. Since the 1980s, the gap between those at the top of the income spectrum and everyone else has been widening, due to a number of phenomena, including increased competition from China, the decline of the coal industry, and automation. These seismic changes have laid bare the shortcomings of the American welfare state, which can help workers absorb short term job loss but leaves them in a precarious state for longer term unemployment. Solving this problem will require new ways of thinking and a better understanding of how global economic forces affect local economies. That has been the focus of Gordon Hanson, Peter Wertheim Professor of Urban Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. Professor Hanson says that the economic consensus in the 1980s and 1990s, which assumed that free trade would lead to massive growth for everyone, was wildly optimistic. To address regional economic divides, Professor Hanson says policymakers will have to consider approaches that would have once been thought too economically intrusive. In collaboration with HKS Professor Dani Rodrik, Professor Hanson has recently launched Reimagining the Economy, a project focused on solving these problems. You can read more about it at hks.harvard.edu/centers/wiener/programs/economy. Some of Professor Hanson's work on "The China Shock" and labor markets can be read here: "The China Shock: Learning from Labor Market Adjustment to Large Changes in Trade" with David H. Autor and David Dorn https://www.nber.org/papers/w21906 "On the Persistance of the China Shock" with David H Autor and David Dorn https://www.nber.org/papers/w29401 This video mentions cites research by Enrico Moretti and Patrick M.

,After the midterm elections on November 6, 2018, Democrats are now positioned to hold the majority of seats in the United States House of Representatives. Many experts predict that Democrats will launch a barrage of investigations into the Trump administration. Douglas Heye, a GOP strategist and 2015 Fall Resident Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics, has some words of advice for Democrats as they enter a new era of divided government. Heye spoke at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum at Harvard Kennedy School on November 7, 2018 along with Spring 2018 Fellow Symone D. Sanders, Fall 2018 Resident Fellow Margaret Talev, and Marc Lotter, former Press Secretary for Vice President Pence and former special assistant to President Donald Trump. ------------------------------- The Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School (IOP) was established in 1966 as a memorial to President Kennedy. The IOP’s mission is to unite and engage students, particularly undergraduates, with academics, politicians, activists, and policymakers on a non-partisan basis to inspire them to consider careers in politics and public service. The Institute strives to promote greater understanding and cooperation between the academic world and the world of politics and public affairs. The Institute oversees the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum, one of the world’s premier arenas for political speech, discussion and debate. The IOP Fellows program offers a unique opportunity for political practitioners to spend the semester at Harvard interacting with and learning from students. ------------------------------- The John F.
