How can educators benefit from an apprenticeship? 


Educators play an integral role in aligning curriculum and competencies. Knowing the theory behind the application is just as important as knowing the processes involved in the application for today’s workforce. MAPS educators are resources for workforce innovation as well as leaders in modernizing work-based learning.

 Apprenticeships:

  • Strengthen existing industry partnerships and provide opportunities to make new connections
  • Enhance student success inside and outside of the classroom
  • Create additional pipelines to recruit and enroll new students 
  • Require little to no additional time investment 

Competency Mapping Process

The MAPS Program has developed the competency mapping process to demonstrate alignment between academic curriculum and occupational competencies. We engage program faculty, as subject matter experts, to determine which courses in their curriculum address the competencies of related occupations to build academic apprenticeships.
