Work & Career Based Learning
Youth Apprenticeship

Youth Apprenticeship is a 1 or 2-year program that gives juniors and seniors the chance to explore a career area of interest. Students spend part of their school day doing real-life, hands-on, PAID learning under the guidance of a local business mentor. In this program, students gain the skills and experiences to compete for high-paying, highly-skilled jobs.

As paid employees of a local business partner, students have the same type of work, projects, and responsibilities as other employees in their career field. Students are selected for the program based on an interview with potential business partners and an application, which includes attendance and academic records. Positions are limited since everyone must have a business partner. Interviews take place in spring and most students begin working over summer.
