Becca‘s research has been focused on youth apprenticeship models in the US and abroad. She contributed to the book “Working to Learn: Disrupting the Divide Between College and Career Pathways for Young People” by Noel S. Anderson and Lisette Nieves, an international study of promising models and policy considerations to improve work and learning outcomes for young people, and has presented on work-based learning research in the UK and Belgium. Becca earned her EdD at NYU Steinhardt in Educational Leadership & Policy Studies. Her research explored the experiences and intersectional identities of young women in modern youth apprenticeship models, distilling key services and supports provided by intermediary nonprofits that expand career and postsecondary pathways.
