Mandatory work-from-home policies are requiring youth apprentices to adapt to a very different kind of apprenticeship. Setting up a space that allows you to be productive, practicing the self-discipline to stay on task, working with your supervisor to identify tasks, and establishing open communication that fosters mentorship and skill development are new challenges for both supervisors and apprentices.
Luckily, the structures and practices that facilitate productive remote-work are well-researched and accessible. With a bit of intention and planning, a work-from-home apprenticeship can be just as effective as an in-person one. We’ve compiled resources that will help you successfully structure work during this time – whether you focus on high-value skill development, on work tasks – or both.
