Spud’s Thoughts:
I love the Leap team. I read the Leap book a few years ago and was instantly drawn to the concept of integrating apprenticeships and hands-on learning more fully into our education. Victor – who leads Experience Institute – is an incredible pioneer in the field and everything he does is high quality. Their programs may be a bit expensive but you can try to find creative ways to fund the tuition and their team will definitely help offer ideas.
