OWDR is seeking a highly motivated intern for the Spring 2026 semester to contribute to workforce development research. The intern will work on two projects: The Apprenticeship Outcomes Literature Review: Identify research related to the impact of apprenticeships on employment, salary, lifetime earnings, and related outcomes.

Deliverable: A comprehensive literature reference list in BibTeX format.
