Issue Position

Reforming our approach to public education is imperative. Let's expand work-based learning and apprenticeships to ensure today's students are ready for tomorrow's economy.

When John Hickenlooper ran for Mayor, he promised to visit every public school in Denver. During his weekly public school visits, he saw the challenges but also successes. Hickenlooper knows we are not teaching our kids everything that they need to learn.

As a country, we need to ensure we're teaching our kids the right things. We need to move away from limited curriculums that are focused on memorization and rote regurgitation. As President, Hickenlooper will expand work-based learning and apprenticeships: because without significant engagement between the education system and business, today's students won't be ready for tomorrow.
