Engaging Workforce Development: A Framework for Meeting CRA Obligations is an excellent guide, which Apprentice Power uses to break the silos that challenge community growth and sustainability. The process facilitates collaborations among banks, insurance companies, credit unions and others in order to achieve diverse socioeconomic goals and objectives. The publication helps to expand CRA compliance opportunities and may be used to frame community benefits negotiations between community groups and real estate developers. 

Apprentice Power integrates business and social entrepreneurship through place-based impact investing strategies designed to increase and diversify the human capital endowment of the United States. 

The process functions to establish a holistic continuum of early college high schools, career academies, non-traditional apprenticeships and the national new collar jobs initiative. 

"A nation’s human capital endowment embodies the knowledge and skills residing in individuals, which empowers them to create economic value. 

Human capital must be invested in and leveraged efficiently in order for it to generate returns for the individuals involved and for the economy as a whole. Human capital is a key driver of a successful economy, as routine tasks are automated and the premium paid to creativity rises accordingly". (World Economic Forum)
