| Abstract: | Background: Compared to the general population, adults with disabilities often have poor employment rates. Apprenticeships offer one way to improve employment outcomes; yet, it is unclear whether apprenticeships have been effective among adults with disabilities. Objective: Our objective was to explore apprenticeships among adults with disabilities. Method: We conducted a systematic literature review of 19 studies which examined apprenticeships among adults with disabilities. Results: The studies were inconsistent in their characterization of disability and/or the nature of the apprenticeship. Yet, overall, most studies reported that apprenticeships were effective for adults with disabilities. In spite of their effectiveness, stakeholders often have negative views of apprenticeships for adults with disabilities. Conclusion: Implications for research and practice are discussed.
