“
As a membership network of apprenticeship practitioners, we bring the apprenticeship community together to engage on policy and practice issues. Mike led a fantastic session with over 100 people on AI and apprenticeships where he laid out a framework for understanding what needs to change so apprenticeships can serve as a pathway for AI-related occupations.It was one of our best meetings.
Mike brings deep practical experience of building and running apprenticeship programs together with thought leadership on work-based learning, the labor force, and the technology sector. He is a system leader in the apprenticeships field and we are proud to have him as an Apprenticeships for America member."

 We enjoyed having Mike for our product owner training. We're on a journey here at eBay to transition from a project-oriented mindset to product ownership.  This session was great because it focused on practical applications and exercises rather than just on PowerPoint presentations and documentation. So it had real, tangible, real-time impacts.
My favorite part of today's training was seeing the applicability to everybody who was there. So whether they were brand new or quite senior in the organization,  everybody took away benefits. The results match the pitch, and we totally got that today, if not more.

 Mike, I really admire how much grit and passion you have. And you've demonstrated that since the day I met you.
Over the years, I've just seen you really bring to life what you say you want to do. It's so rare that you find someone who's able to materialize what they have in their head and deal with all the challenges.

“
After a series of fortuitous connections San Diego-based technologists and industry leaders, I planned a trip to San Diego with a number of site visits on the itinerary.
One of the most memorable visits was with Mike Roberts...who invited me to his brick-and-mortar, introduced me to several key contacts and even treated me to dinner.
While the trip helped solidify that San Diego would and should not be our first scale market, this connection with Mike has endured and he continues to be a champion of access and skills-based learning.
