Hello,

At SCNA 2012, we held a side-session about how to start apprenticeships inside of our companies.  I shared some of what we've done at 8th Light, and many people expressed an interested in an ongoing conversation on the topic.  So perhaps we could start out with everyone posting about their current efforts.  Where are you in this processes?

Have you recently been convinced that an apprenticeship program is a good idea?
Have you identified some mentors?
Do you have some candidates?
Have you mentored someone in the past?

What's your biggest obstacle to getting started?
What have you tried already?

I'm looking forward to our conversation!
