With automation and AI rapidly reshaping industries, 44% of today’s workforce skills could be obsolete by 2028. At the same time, tech layoffs, delayed retirements, & shifting labor trends are making it harder for businesses to find qualified talent.
Apprenticeships offer a vehicle to upskill workers on the job.
In this article, our CEO @ximenahartsock shares tips on how to build a successful apprenticeship program to future-proof your workforce & create sustainable talent pipelines.

This innovative team @JoinBuildwithin is quietly racking up the wins for employers and employees across many verticals, not just trades. Former @dcpublicschools leader @ximenahartsock has built a platform that could assist @Linda_McMahon and @usedgov in finding #Apprenticeship career pathways. Could also assist @DOGE across all agencies in streamlining / bundling regulations so that businesses can execute more efficiently and create more jobs.
Today, we celebrate @United Airlines for saying
#YestotheApprentice!
We are honored to serve as the technology1w partner for United Airlines’ Innovate #Apprenticeship Program, streamlining implementation so they can focus on what matters most, coaching their team members.
A big shoutout to Adriana Kemper and the entire team at United Airlines for their vision and leadership in embracing this impactful model

Improving lives and being efficient! @DOGE
This am @WSJ worth a read. Much needed reform for our gov. Entrepreneurs such as @ximenahartsock who built start-up @JoinBuildwithin that painfully sifts thru 1000s of onerous state and fed regulations to create a simple platform for companies and gov agencies to develop apprenticeship pathways for all verticals, not just the trades, could literally replace much of the @DepartofLabor and save billions. Today Ximena and her team have impressive annual recurring revenue and are providing job pathways for thousands across multiple verticals around the country. Scaling BuildWithin across all government agencies would save big money and create millions of jobs. Importantly, her name even starts with @X ! 🤷♂️ Worth a look from @DOGE @VivekGRamaswamy and @elonmusk
